Three Strangers
Gina is in a world of trouble, as usual. She lives on the edge of danger as a professional thief with a solid reputation. As word spreads about her skills she has been receiving more and more jobs. Weary from one, Gina is ready to take a few days off and enjoy her latest companion. At twenty-five, Gina had an issue with commitment. None of the men she was with seemed to mind. She did not believe in love any more than she believed in family. Raised in the foster care system since she was two years old, there was no such thing as bedtime stories or kisses goodnight. She had been on her own since she was sixteen. She did whatever it took to survive and did not apologize. When she is requested to do a job for one of the most powerful criminals in the area Gina has no choice, the option to decline is not given. She is instructed to head to tiny Indian reservation called Celilo Village and steal an ancient mask that is believed to be hidden there. It is the last thing she wants to do, as she knows one mistake will mean she will suffer some dire consequences. When she arrives she receives aid from an unlikely source, a young man about her age who is part of a family who takes care of the Village. At first Gina thinks she has had a stroke of luck, but as he stirs sensations within her she never expected to feel, she wonders if she has stumbled into a nightmare.
Aiyana's love for her heritage goes far beyond her decorative taste or her choice of dress. She feels as if the very land that Celilo Village, a Native American reservation, is built on, is asking her to protect it. At twenty-three Aiyana has spent most of her life on the reservation, though her family lives just outside of it. They offer help and support to the people that live within the village. Aiyana's deep connection with tradition and her desire to honor her culture keeps her occupied day and night. What some might see as an obsession, Aiyana feels is her one true purpose. So when her brother invites a stranger to take a tour of the reservation, and on the same day she is given a haunting message to beware the hawk, she is feeling even more protective of the sacred place. She does not trust the woman her brother insists is only rough on the surface. She suspects that someone else has been sneaking on to the reservation as well. Aiyana feels as if she is the only one struggling to protect the people she loves so deeply. Everywhere she turns there are new mysteries blossoming, from her mother's attempt to hide old photographs, to the presence of a man clad in black who appears on the reservation, and again within her dreams. For the first time she is feeling the awakening of the potential for falling in love. Aiyana knows that her instincts are trying to tell her something, will she be able to figure it out before it is too late? Great native american romance

She would often grab on to a case and not let go until she solved it. The Mystery continues....
