The Cowboy and the Cradle is the first of five Silhouette Desires in Cait London's Tallchief series. The Tallchiefs are a family of five orphans who raise each other on a ranch high up on Tallchief mountain after their parents are killed in a convenience store robbery. Duncan Tallchief was all of eighteen years old when his parents died, leaving him in charge of four younger siblings. Now grown, Duncan is the only Tallchief still living on the mountain. Like his Sioux ancestors, his tracking abilities have become legendary after he succeeds in saving several missing children. That's why researcher Sybil White has come all the way from Seattle to hire Duncan. She's desperate to find her teenage daughter, Emily, kidnapped by Sybil's ex-husband. Finding Emily is the least of Duncan's problems, though. Despite his vow never to marry again, he finds himself drawn to the complex, wounded woman who has sought his help. But he's a man who can't trust, attracted to a woman who won't.The Tallchiefs are a hit. I only have one complaint: where's the next one! As she's done many times before, Cait London spices a poignant love story with wit and humor! Thank goodness there are four more Tallchiefs to come! When it comes to unique characters and witty repartee, Cait London is at the top!Annette Carney -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc
