From an RWA award-winning and #1 bestselling author comes a moving and "very powerful piece" of historical romance!

Scandal is second nature to outcast Kimimela Wallace...and so are the passions she can't deny.

Fleeing a forbidden desire in the small Oklahoma town where her white father raised her, Kimi escapes to the Cheraksaw Reservation to be with her mother—and quickly finds herself in the arms of her childhood friend, Soaring Falcon.

No sooner does she arrive then her mother forces her out to make it on her own. Her only choice is to take work she doesn't want...as a governess for hard-hearted widower, Alex Randall. But the rumors and the reputation Kimi fled in town follow her there.

When she discovers a shocking secret about Mr. Randall, desires for her new boss ignite. Then tragedy strikes, and Kimi must risk everything to save both the men she loves. But deciding who will win her heart may mean stripping away the one thing she values most—her freedom.

Can she give up one love for another, or will passion and forbidden desires lead to more than she thought possible?
