Publisher's summary

The unforgettable frontier love story of the warrior who kidnaps a young English lady in the colonies and she finds ecstasy in his tender savage touch.

Katelyn Locke sets sail to America, her heart singing about her new life to be as a bride. She beholds America's virgin shores with wonder until her cowardly fiance abandons her in the forest when they are attacked by Indians. In the first moments she faces her captor in terror.

The warrior Night Fox reaches out and touches her cheek. What fool would leave a treasure like this behind? He is bewitched by his tribe's newest captive. Her lustrous hair is red like the fox's, her silky skin reminds him of the yellow wildflower.

"I hate you because you kidnapped me, because you made your slave . . ." I hate you because I can't despise you the way I should.

He senses her surrender to his forbidden caress. Fox pulls her close, savoring the warmth of her damp skin beneath his touch. She trembles in his grasp, unable to tear her eyes from his. "I hate you because you touch me."

"Do not be afraid."

No one has ever tried to comfort her, no one has ever cared. Why this man, she wonders, as she bends his head towards her. Why the enemy?

What a great inclusive story!

You can tell Colleen French took an incredible amount of time to research the indigenous Delaware peoples as well as the different tribes along the eastern shore. As an indigenous woman (eastern band of Cherokee) I was overjoyed to see the native representation within her book. I adored the trans woman character (remember this was written in 1986!) and although some of the language was a bit dated, it did not diminish the love I felt for the characters or the story line. Very well written character arcs and a solid 2.5/5 for spiciness. Trigger warnings: slavery, indentured servitude, loss of a wife, loss of a child, attempted rape, burning down of a house, torture of prisoners, disease (small pox), murder, arranged marriage, purity culture, pregnancy, loss of sight, pedophilia (implied sex between a white man & young stable boy).
