Nice story!
Romance novels rock.
Mallory Tompkins has come West to write about what is really going on between the Indians and the white people who are settling in the western states. Gold Eagle is a Cheyenne leader who has golden hair and light eyes (he was captured as a child and grew up Cheyenne). He has gone to Fort Larned to find out what the Army is getting ready to do to the Indians in his area. He is disguised as an Eastern botanist who has lived amongst the Indians to learn their medical/herbal solutions for illnesses and injuries.
Mallory and Gold Eagle (disguised as Matt Bower) meet and immediately fall in love. This just did not ring true.
An irritation I had with the way Ms. Barbieri writes is her constantly changing to another part of the action. I know it is to build tension, but she did it in such an abrupt way that I found it irritating.
The final resolution did not ring true either. Mallory was a very ambitious newspaperwoman and was committed to finding out the truth and reporting it.
