“No-din?”

Echohawk’s whisper drew Mariah’s eyes back to him. When she found him looking at her, a slow smile fluttering on his lips, she almost shouted with joy. She reached a hand to his brow, gasping with delight. His fever had broken! The crisis had passed. He was going to be well again.

“Echohawk, oh, darling,” Mariah said, tossing her cloth aside. She twined her arms around his neck and kissed him softly on the lips, then drew only slightly away from him, gazing lovingly into his eyes. “You gave me a scare, you know.”

Don’t miss the Zebra release of Cassie Edwards’s White Fire, coming next March!

A forbidden love, a lifelong passion, a destiny that won’t be denied...

Known as Flame for her fiery red hair, not to mention

her temperament, beautiful Reshelle Russell wants only

one man, the one she can’t have—or so she is told.

But since childhood, Flame has known that the proud

Chippewa warrior, White Fire, is meant for her. Now a

grown woman, she has embarked on her quest for him,

in defiance of her father, an elite army commander.

Imprisoned for three years by an enemy tribe,

White Fire has returned only to discover that his wife

is dead and his young son has been taken by a wealthy

white couple. It seems nothing can penetrate his cold,

embittered heart, much less heal it—until he lays eyes

on Flame once more. And soon it is clear that together

they can fight to regain all he has lost, amid a passion

that was destined to last for a lifetime . . .
