The
Princess and the Wolf
The
Clan of the Wolf Book 1
by
Karen Kay
Genre:
Historical Romance
TWO
HEARTS BETRAYED
Refusing
to believe the rumors that the European prince she was forced to
marry had died in a far-off land, the princess, Sierra, sets sail to
America, bent on revenge and determined to learn the truth. Because
she will require a scout to guide her through the wilderness, she
calls in a favor from the man who had betrayed her long ago, the man
she had once loved deeply and had hoped to wed, the noble Cheyenne
scout, High Wolf.
Many
years before, a European prince had invited High Wolf to travel an
ocean and as a brother, to live as a member of the royal family.
There High Wolf had fallen in love with the princess, Sierra. But
instead of an engagement and the planned wedding, the princess had
treacherously married his friend, the prince. Betrayed and
broken-hearted, High Wolf sailed back to America, determined to
forget the princess. But a promise given to her years earlier brings
her back into his life, igniting a desire he must resist, for to
surrender to her again is unthinkable.
Forced
into one another’s company, with the threat of life or death around
every corner, overcoming their prejudice might be their only means of
survival. But can either of them trust in a love, once betrayed? Or
will their past force them apart again, this time forever?...
This
book has been previously published.
Warning:
A sensuous romance that might fan the flames of desire. Be warned.
You might fall in love all over again.
Brave
Wolf and the Lady
The
Clan of the Wolf Book 2
He
saved her life, then stole her heart….
To
escape an arranged marriage, Mia Carlson, daughter of a U.S. senator,
instead elopes with the man she loves. As they are escaping from her
Virginia home, heading west, their wagon train is brutally attacked,
leaving Mia alone and in grave danger. Rescue comes from a most
unlikely source, a passing Lakota scouting party, led by the darkly
handsome Indian, Brave Wolf.
Although
Brave Wolf has consented to guide Mia to the nearest trading post, he
holds himself apart from her, for his commitments lie elsewhere. But
long days on the trail lead to a deep connection with the red-haired
beauty. Yet, he can’t stop wondering why death and danger stalk
this beautiful woman, forcing him to rescue her time and again. Who
is doing this, and why?
One
thing is clear, however: Amid the flurry of dodging assassin bullets,
Brave Wolf and Mia come into possession of a powerful love. But is it
all for naught? Will Brave Wolf’s obligations and Mia’s secret
enemy from the past finally succeed in the sinister plot to destroy
their love forever?

Hi Onyinye,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your post. Appreciate it.
Hi Darlene,
ReplyDeleteVery good question. Ideas come from life and also from research. Usually the idea for the story comes from some sort of historical event or from life itself. Scenes come from the characters as they become more and more alive for me, and also from research. But many of my scenes are from the characters coming alive and they then run the show, so to speak, if that makes sense.
Hi Edye Nicole,
ReplyDeleteAnother really good question. The Native American culture in general inspires me -- mostly because they have gotten a rather bad rap from several Hollywood pictures -- particularly those of the 50's and 60's. In doing research, I am struck over and over again of the ideals that were embodied in their cultures, and it's that which I like to write about. Like all peoples in all places there are those who do good and those who do bad. Unfortunately the "bad" have been characterized in several movies, and so I like to take a different look and write about the very real traits that are so inspiring; i.e. honesty, keeping one's word once given, being in tune with the environment, etc.
