A Distant Star
THE RUNNER ...
Pride made her run faster and longer than the others --- traveling swiftly to carry her urgent messages. But hard as she tried, Nareen could never subdue her indomitable spirit --- the passionate zeal all successful runners learned to suppress. And when she looked into the glittering gaze of the man called Jerrel and felt his searing touch, Nareen feared even more for her ability to maintain self-control.
THE BLUE-EYED STRANGER ...
He was searching a distant world for his lost brother when his life was saved by the courageous messenger. Nareen's beauty and daring enchanted him, but Jerrel could not permit anyone to turn him from his mission, not even the proud and passionate woman who offered him a love capable of bridging the stars.
