Moon of Ripening (The Lakota Moon Series)

Book Two in The Lakota Moon Series When Thunder Heart, a Lakota warrior who is destined to be a leader of his people, saves the lives of two white women during Red Cloud's War, he places his family and, indeed, his entire village at risk. Can Thunder Heart keep these women safe? Will his act of compassion cause the death of his people? Or will they demand the death or abandonment of these women in order to avoid the wrath of the Bluecoats or perhaps, that of Red Cloud? Uncertain of the outcome, he knows only one thing: He desires the pale-haired beauty, Victoria Abernathy, and will do anything to insure her safety. Following on the heels of the well-received, Moon of the Falling Leaves, Ms. White has once again produced a romantically sensual story of two people in love overcoming prejudice and hardship.
