Nick Red Shield, who is Sioux, comes across an injured white woman in the bushes.
He thinks he’s responsible,
and offers her shelter. The woman is travelling under
an assumed name, as her son has been kidnapped by his
Father. The woman, Lauren, turns out to be a former jockey; she and Nick fall in
love, and Lauren starts to work his
new paint horse, True Colors. However, Lauren
still has a mission: to find her son.
Kathleen Eagle is a writer of romances. Born in Virginia, and raised “an Air Force brat”, she was educated at Mount Holyoke College and Northern State University. She taught for 17 years, and is the author of over 40 novels. Her first, in 1984, was a Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award winner. At least two of her books have a horsy theme: it’s quite possible there are more.
Finding the books: easy to find: both appear to be obtainable new on both sides of the Atlantic, and there are plenty available secondhand.
