USA Today-Bestselling Author: Agreeing to a marriage of convenience for the sake of a motherless child, a woman finds herself conflicted by desire… When Travis Black Eagle loses his wife in childbirth, he storms the doctor’s home and demands justice. Crystal Spencer, the small town’s Justice of the Peace, knows she can’t be forced to marry Travis because of the doctor—her brother’s—mistake. But her own integrity won’t allow her to let an innocent child go motherless, nor can her heart deny the intense feelings she has for Travis. What begins as a marriage of convenience soon grows into a consuming love and a tormenting conflict. For Travis has seen far too many injustices to have faith in the law—the very law that is Crystal’s responsibility to uphold… “One of the top romance authors.”—RT Book Reviews

Savannah Ravenwood has just stepped off the ship in Vicksburg, smuggling morphine in her hoop skirt, when she is captured by the handsome, dark-haired Red Hawk, a powerful, half-Comanche warrior. Red Hawk needs Savannah’s help to rescue his orphaned nephew, but as they set on the mission that can cost them their lives, they find themselves surrendering their hearts—to one another. But Savannah knows a future with a man whose only desire is to return to his Comanche people would mean abandoning her own life in Texas. Not even true love can bridge the gap between their two very different worlds. But when tragedy strikes, they discover that the only future worth fighting for is their future together…
Winner, Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin Book Award (American Society for Ethnohistory) Comanches have engaged Euro-Americans' curiosity for three centuries. Their relations with Spanish, French, and Anglo-Americans on the southern Plains have become a highly resonant part of the mythology of the American West. Yet we know relatively little about the community that Comanches have shared and continue to construct in southwestern Oklahoma. Morris W. Foster has written the first study of Comanches' history that identifies continuities in their intracommunity organization from the initial period of European contact to the present day. Those continuities are based on shared participation in public social occasions such as powwows, peyote gatherings, and church meetings Foster explains how these occasions are used to regulate social organization and how they have been modified by Comanches to adapt them to changing political and economic relations with Euro-Americans. Using a model of community derived from sociolinguistics, Foster argues that Comanches have remained a distinctive people by organizing their face-to-face relations with one another in ways that maintain Comanche-Comanche lines of communication and regulate a shared sense of appropriate behavior. His book offers readers a significant reinterpretation of traditional anthropological and historical views of Comanche social organization.
Fate unites a cowboy and a half-Indian woman in frontier Texas, in this “poignant, well-told tale of forbidden love” from a USA Today–bestselling author (Rendezous). Honor Roth has spent her life dreaming of only one man, a handsome cowboy named Luke McCloud. It seems unlikely someone like him could ever belong to Honor, who has grown up taunted by other children and labeled a half-breed. But one day, as her father lies on his deathbed, he makes a final plea to save their family ranch: Honor and Luke must wed—in name only—to hold the property deed until her brother, Jed Roth, comes of age and can take over. Now Honor, to her dismay, finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage. Luke, meanwhile, is on the run for a crime he did not commit. But he intends to repay the debt to his wife’s father and then be gone. But first he must survive the poachers and bounty hunters that are hot on his trail—and wrestle with the blazing yearning for Honor that is growing hotter in his heart . . .
This study of Southern Plains military societies delineates comparatively and ethnohistorically the martial values embraced by the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache (KCA) since circa 1800, describing how military society structure, functions, and ritual symbols connect past and present.

The fierce bands of Comanche Indians, on the testimony of their contemporaries, both red and white, numbered some of the most splendid horsemen the world has ever produced. Often the terror of other tribes, who, on finding a Comanche footprint in the Western plains country, would turn and go in the other direction, they were indeed the Lords of the South Plains. For more than a century and a half, since they had first moved into the Southwest from the north, the Comanches raided and pillaged and repelled all efforts to encroach on their hunting grounds. They decimated the pueblo of Pecos, within thirty miles of Santa Fé. The Spanish frontier settlements of New Mexico were happy enough to let the raiding Comanches pass without hindrance to carry their terrorizing forays into Old Mexico, a thousand miles down to Durango. The Comanches fought the Texans, made off with their cattle, burned their homes, and effectively made their own lands unsafe for the white settlers. They fought and defeated at one time or another the Utes, Pawnees, Osages, Tonkawas, Apaches, and Navahos. These were "The People," the spartans of the prairies, the once mighty force of Comanches, a surprising number of whom survive today. More than twenty-five hundred live in the midst of an alien culture which as grown up about them. This book is the story of that tribe-the great traditions of the warfare, life, and institutions of another century which are today vivid memories among its elders. Despite their prolonged resistance, the Comanches, too, had to "come in." On a sultry summer day in June, 1875, a small hand of starving tribesmen straggled in to Fort Sill, near the Wichita Mountains in what is now the southwestern part of the state of Oklahoma. There they surrendered to the military authorities. So ended the reign of the Comanches on the Southwestern frontier. Their horses had been captured and destroyed; the buffalo were gone; most of their tipis had been burned. They had held out to the end, but the time had now come for them to submit to the United States government demands.
In this second book of the Captive Hearts series the story of Carrie Ashton continues as the Comanche band she is now part of struggles to remain free as the white man wants to push all Native American people onto reservations and take the land for themselves. As the soldiers attack and destroy the Comanche camps; food sources become scarce as buffalo hunters decimate one of the main Comanche resources, and the white man moves westward, Carrie, now known as Blue Eyes, fights to keep her family together.
