Book 1: SWEET
PRAIRIE PASSION. The ninth book that I wrote, SWEET PRAIRIE
PASSION was the first to be published. It was also the beginning of
Abigail Trent's great adventure. The year was 1845, and Abbie was riding west
in her father's covered wagon when she first met rugged half-breed scout Zeke
Monroe. Zeke, raised by his white father in Tennessee, wouldn't rest until he
found his Cheyenne mother--and his destiny. Abbie was determined to ride by his
side, joining two warring cultures with one passionate heart.

Book 2: RIDE
THE FREE WIND. Together, Abbie and Zeke faced peril; together they
tasted rapture, until Zeke found his mother's people, and turned his back on
the white man's world. To stay with her love, now called White Eagle, Abbie
became Cheyenne, too, never to return to the land of her birth. Yet, even if it
meant warfare and death, she knew she belonged to her Cheyenne brave for all
time.

Book 3: RIVER
OF LOVE. Trouble was brewing across the plains to challenge Abbie
and Lone Eagle and test their love. Yet even as the hardships of frontier life
grew, nothing could diminish their passion. Together, they must fight to forge
a dynasty in a harsh, unyielding wilderness, and fulfill their daring dreams.

Book 4: EMBRACE
THE WILD LAND. Even in the peaceful New Mexico territory, Abbie and
Lone Eagle couldn't escape the violence of a country in upheaval as the Civil
War raged across the nation. Fate thrust them apart as Lone Eagle was forced to
leave Abigail and face the horrors of the white man's war.

Book 5: CLIMB
THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN. Though many years had passed since Abigail
Trent's gaze first locked with Lone Eagle's over a crimson campfire, passion
still burned between them. Yet their lives together continued to bring ever
greater challenges. The Civil War over, homesteaders invaded the rugged
frontier, determined to wrest the land from the "heathens." Together,
Abbie and Lone Eagle struggled to hold onto their way of life.

Book 6: MEET
THE NEW DAWN. The relentless tide of progress, in the form of the
railroads, forced the Plains Indians to battle for their freedom and their very
lives. Abbie and Lone Eagle were forced to part once again. All they had to
sustain them was the desperate hope that they would be reunited once more.

Book 7: EAGLE'S
SONG. After I finished Book 6, I was so overwhelmed with emotion
that I had to get away from the Monroe family. The first six books were
published between 1983 and 1985, and it took me eleven years to walk back into
the lives of all the characters who had become so dear to me. There was Abbie,
waiting for me to finish her story, and also tell the stories of some of her
grandchildren. In EAGLE'S SONG, the clan gathered for a
long-awaited reunion on their sprawling Colorado ranch, but old hatreds and new
passions exploded...in heartbreaking tragedy for eldest son Wolf's Blood; in a
forbidden love affair between Abbie's wild grandson Zeke and a rancher's
headstrong daughter; and in an agonzing choice Wolf's Blood's young son must
make--a choice that could seal his father's fate.

Please
note: Though readers want me to continue the stories of Abbie's
grandchildren, EAGLE'S SONG is truly the end of the
series.
