BOOK 1
Their love gained strength from the land
Katie McCabe, daughter of an Indian trader, finds herself alone when her family is killed in a battle between the Army and the Indians. She is rescued by Black Moon, a fierce Lakota warrior who has vowed to keep the white people from taking his land, and taken to live with his people. The love that ignites between these two wild hearts is tested by treachery, abduction, prejudice, a promise to a dying woman, and the tensions that erupt between the Sioux and the Army in the turbulent 1850's. From the war-torn Great Plains to the opulence of St. Louis, a headstrong white girl and a proud Lakota warrior fight for their love and the wild country of their birth.

BOOK 4
Lakota warrior Black Moon has fought long and hard against the Long Knives, but in the aftermath of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, his people are forced onto agencies where they live at the mercy of the soldiers and bend to the will of the white man. The death of his beloved friend Crazy Horse has plummeted him into a well of uncertainty over his ability to keep the people safe at a time when a new enemy, the Northern Pacific Railroad, threatens their future. The railroad is an enemy unlike any Black Moon has ever fought. Its weapon is progress, and it cannot be stopped. To safeguard her family from this latest threat, Katie strikes a bargain with the government, but it is a bargain that comes with a high price. And as Black Moon struggles against the most important battle he will ever fight—the one within himself—peace and acceptance come from a most unexpected source.

BOOK 5
1883, as the final spike of the Northern Pacific Railroad is driven into the ground, completing the iron road through the heart of Lakota territory, Black Moon's nephew Storm carries the war lance into battle against the railroad. But with his abduction of a railroad magnate's niece, the reckless warrior gets more than he bargained for.
High-spirited New York society girl Eliza Prentiss grudgingly accompanied her uncle to the wilds of Montana Territory, but with the ceremony over, she is eager to return to civilization. When her train is attacked by Indians, she is taken captive by one of the renegades and brought to his hideout.
Struggling to come to terms with a painful past and the changing world around him, the only thing that can sooth Storm's vengeful heart is love, but his efforts to win the love of the fiery white girl are dashed by her hatred.
As weeks go by and Eliza's attempts to escape are thwarted, she is reluctantly drawn into the Lakota world and into the arms of the dark-eyed warrior who awakens in her feelings she has never known. But can the love that ignites between these two wild hearts survive when her ruthless uncle summons the military to track down her abductor and teach him a powerful lesson and when a lie forces Eliza to make a heartbreaking choice?

Coming Soon!
In 1878, at Camp Robinson, Nebraska an improbable friendship forms between school mates twelve-year-old Makes the Song, the strong-willed daughter of Katie and Black Moon, fourteen-year-old Will McIntyre, who dreams of becoming a farmer, and sixteen-year-old Trent Fontenelle, who aspires to a military career. But hostilities between the Army and its Indian adversaries drive the friends apart.
Eleven years later, as the Lakota struggle to survive on reservations and Song struggles to find her place in the world, fate conspires to bring the trio together again. In these dangerous and uncertain times, which man will claim her wild heart? Idealistic, hard-working Will, now farming along the Laramie, who has loved her from afar for so long? Or Trent, now Captain with the Seventh Cavalry, whose call to duty comes at a high price? The friendship formed all those years ago is once again splintered by conflict amid rising tensions over the spiritual movement of the Ghost Dance, and the path to Song’s true love leads to a creek lined with willows and cottonwoods called Wounded Knee.
