Under Western Stars — Kay Stuart

Why was his blood a curse? Nahashtan Reeds had been sent away by his white father. His Comanche grandfather wanted him to be a warrior, raiding cattle and horses. As a Ranger, Nahashtan was often criticized by the very people he protected. Abigail Bennett said she would never give up her independence. She was content to be a spinster. That is until, Nahashtan Reeds returned to Red Bluff and her old fascination for the young Breed stole away her heart. Could Nahashtan find acceptance in the arms of the woman he loved? Or, would Abigail find reasons to believe he was not worthy of her love?
