“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.

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 . . .
