Frustrated could not begin to describe her reaction! How dare he? What a ridiculous demand!
To request that before Katrina Wellington could claim her inheritance, her uncle wanted, not only to meet her fiancรฉ first, but expected him to travel all the way from sophisticated New York to the deep unknowns of the American Northwest frontier. This was 1832, for goodness sakes! How ridiculous and how would her fiancรฉ, the Marques of Leicester, react to that news?
White Eagle, a handsome Blackfoot warrior and good friend of Katrina's uncle, had been sent to meet Katrina, who he had not seen since she was five years old. He really likes the old trader and goes along with his request as he is used to his wily ways and he wanted to see how "Shines Like Moonlight" would respond to him. Their pasts had intertwined and he hoped that he could rekindle the bond they had shared when they were little.
Being party to the old trader's thinking, he accepted the set-up of him being a guide to take Katrina to her uncle. Yet, could he alight the passion he knew was in her heart? Would her fiancรฉ give up his wealthy prize? But, even if he could mate with Katrina, how would they live? Can love be sustained when their worlds and customs are so alien and unforgiving of each other?
Best-selling author Karen Kay has a special gift for combining romance and passion with a true and well researched understanding of the historical reality of American Indians, especially those of the Blackfeet Nations.
New and existing Kay fans are sure to enjoy the humor and insightful perspectives as White Eagle and Katrina exchange thoughts and knowledge on their own and each other's culture. You will not want to miss Katrina's attempts to do "women's work". White Eagle is a wonderful hero as he is strong, concerned about doing the right thing and is mindful of how both the Blackfoot people and the white Americans at the fort react in certain situations.
WHITE EAGLE'S TOUCH was previously published as part of Kay's Blackfoot Warrior Series and while a great stand- alone read, it interweaves nicely with the story in, Black Hawk's Lady.
