ON THE RUN ... The stallion emerged from the swirling mist, sunlight dancing on its white coat, glinting like liquid silver in its flowing mane and tail. It was a spirit horse, Trey had been told, one that would always carry him away from danger. And if ever he'd needed such an animal, now was the time. With a bullet in his back and posse in his trail, he wouldn't last long unless the words of his Apache grandfather came true. FROM THE LAW Amanda couldn't believe her eyes when the beautiful white stallion appeared in her yard with a wounded man on its back. Dark and ruggedly handsome, the stranger fascinated her. He had about him an aura of danger and desire that excited her as her law-abiding fiance never could. But something didn't add up. Trey seemed bewildered by the amenities of modern life; he wanted nothing to do with the police; and he had a stack of 1863 bank notes in his saddlebags. Then one soul-stirring kiss made it all clear --- Trey might have held up a bank and stolen through time, but when he took her love it would be no robbery, but a gift of the heart.

Blush: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic) Born to a father who was the town drunkard and an Apache mother, Mitch Garrett grew up among people who refused to accept him—all, that is, save for one skinny little girl, the preacher’s daughter, Alisha Faraday. As time passes, Mitch and Alisha’s friendship grows into something far stronger, until the town’s hatred drives Mitch away. But miles and years can’t change the feelings of his heart, feelings that he stubbornly refuses to acknowledge. Haunted by memories of what might have been, Mitch returns home to find that his love for Alisha and hers for him are as strong as ever, until a secret from the past threatens to destroy their future.
