Rebecca Goings
When Talon Holt abruptly
leaves Banning, Texas, fifteen year-old AlisonWilliams is
heartbroken. She'd just confessed her feelings for the tall,
protective Comanche. But though Talon has been raised by white
settlers, the twenty-two year old knows there can never be a future
for him and Alison. To protect his own heart and her young virtue,
he must leave.
Five years later, he returns
to a nearby town, as he's done every year, hoping to hear news of
Alison. What he hears burns him to the quick. Her good-for-nothing
father has virtually gambled his daughter's hand in marriage to a
low-down card shark. Determined to put a stop to this sham of a
marriage, Talon heads for Banning. But will Alison be able to
forgive his leaving her behind, and can he forge any kind of life in
a white man's society?
This novella is packed with
romance as Alison and Talon come to know each other all over again
in every way. While the story is familiar, Ms. Goings' skillfully
realized characters make it all new again with plenty of action to
keep those pages turning. |
