Jonah's Woman

Come what may, Aurora Crenshaw is westward bound, her sights set on Montana. Once there, she plans to assist in an anthropology study of the Crow Indians for the renowned Smithsonian Institution. And while it€s true that the only Indians this intrepid bluestocking has ever laid eyes upon are those illustrating the pages of popular dime novels, Aurora is not about to let that stop her from making her mark in a man€s world.

Major Jonah Mackenzie, a Civil War hero who also happens to be a half-breed Mohawk Indian, finds himself in the unenviable position of having to escort General Crenshaw€s niece halfway across the continent. Convinced that Aurora is the most dangerous type of woman imaginable €“ a crusading do-gooder €“ he tries to keep his distance. Unfortunately, Aurora has a knack for landing into trouble. Indian abductions. Barroom brawls. It€s enough to make Jonah think that beneath Aurora€s spectacles and prissy demeanor there€s one gutsy lady. Not to mention a most beguiling woman.

But as the fires of armed aggression burn out of control on the frontier, Jonah is suddenly torn between his military duty and his desire for a woman hell-bent on saving the warlike Crow Indians. When Jonah is falsely accused of treason €“ a hanging offense €“ his Indian blood becomes a dangerous liability. Especially for the woman he loves. If he€s to save Aurora from the raging firestorm, he must act quickly . . . even at the risk of losing her forever.

A sexy western romance set in 1860s Montana, JONAH€S WOMAN is brimming with passion, wonderful historical detail, and all the fury of the untamed frontier.
