A warrior who values duty above all else, Talako is honour bound to recapture a runaway brave sentenced to hang for his crimes. But then he confronts the fury and determination of ebony-haired Lusa,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Lusa is a strong willed and beautiful half breed. She is torn between the traditional Choctaw ways and the new white man ways. She will do anything to protect her brother who has been convicted of murder and is on the run. Talako is a strong willed lighthorseman (Indian lawman) bound by honor and duty to track down Lusa's brother to be sure he is executed for his crime. Talako has had a sad past and has learned not to trust woman. He has reason not to trust Lusa; but, is helpless to fight against his growing passion/desire for Lusa. Together they end up tracking Lusa's brother (Talako to bring him back for justice; Lusa to do whatever it takes to prove his innocence or save him from certain execution). This story is a battle of wills between Talako and Lusa on every page. It is about the struggle between Talako's honor and Lusa's loyalty to her brother. Love between them grows even in this struggle. This was a hard book to put down (I read it in a few evenings).Georgina Gentry is the best at what she does! The research and notes to the reader in the back of each book are as enjoyable as the book itself!
