Starfire

by Judith E. French

Rebecca Bradford descends the grand staircase of her new Maryland home. Her gown shimmers with every step, her radiant beauty belying her contempt for this world of golden luxury. For years she has lived as "Star Blanket," daughter of the Shawnee, who kidnapped her and raised her as their own. Now she has been forced into the strange world of the white man, 'rescued' by Adam Rourke, the adopted son of her grandfather, and a ruggedly handsome conformist who seems determined to civilize her.

In her heart Rebecca will always be Star Blanket, a bold young woman with no need for fancy clothes or manners...and no understanding of the 'honor' that prohibits Adam from acting on the desire that rages in his dark eyes. He has become a fever in her blood, and only in the ecstasy of love's surrender will their separate worlds yield to the joy of passion's promise.
