Passion's Spirit // White Mountain Spirit — Doris Lemcke

Passion's Legacy
Untamed Hearts, Worlds Apart
Raised by Santa Fe missionaries, half-Apache orphan Elena Santiago has vowed to avenge their murders the Apache way. But first, she must masquerade as a white woman to deliver a dangerous message across the country into the land of her enemies. More dangerous than the warning she carries is her heart's response to the untamed spirit behind Sean O'Grady's smoky grey eyes in a body more like an Apache warrior than a soft, white “gentleman.”
Sean O'Grady has always dreamed of exploring the Wild West, but at twenty-five he's put aside his dreams to run his family's Georgia plantation and wed his neighbor. When Elena arrives looking and speaking more like a Spanish lady than an Indian mission girl, he wonders if she's really who she says she is. Is she a virgin or a vixen? The question taunts him as he struggles with feelings he's never felt before. Feelings that could get them both killed.
