In a town where everyone knows multimillionaire Victor Hawthorn, his only daughter Victoria mistakenly allows her heart to rule her head and falls in love with Evan Rowan - a charming, but ruthless attorney who desires to win at all costs. When Ria serves Evan with a prenuptial agreement at the behest of her father, he suddenly becomes furious and disappears, abandoning Victoria deep in the woods.
Having unwittingly become a pawn in Evan's devious plan to extort money from her family, Ria finds herself in danger at every turn. She is forever tied to Evan by blood, subject to his every whim, until a powerful stranger intercedes. Mystery surrounds the stranger's every move, but Ria is intrigued by his kindness and honor.
I truly enjoyed this book and was drawn into Ria's story from page one. It was incredibly suspenseful to me and I loved the interactions between all the characters. They became real to me as I read the story, and I look forward to reading more books in the series. I also enjoyed the Native American lore and legends that were woven throughout the story. I give this book an A! and have to say that Norma-Jean Marie Connors is definitely an author that is going on my Wish List.

*SPOILER ALERT*
This book manages to bring something new to the Paranormal genre by focusing on a Native American history rather than werewolves and vampires. This book was very interesting and certainly stayed in my mind when I wasn't reading it. It is suspenseful and full of intrigue but the one thing that I found disappointing is that there was no conclusive ending towards the bad guy. You don't know what happens to him, he just disappears from the pages. On the whole I enjoyed it but just wasn't sure about that part.
Recommended for anyone who likes a bit of different with their paranormal.
