Smoke Eyes — Maureen Reynolds

HE WAS A DARK-EYED CAPTAIN HOME FROM THE WILD SEA
He stood like a pirate on the deck of a plundered ship, black hair whipping in the wind, powerful shoulders filling the door of the tiny apothecary shop, and called her by the secret name only he could have known. In that one magic moment Zach Fletcher saw her just as he'd ways remembered her, the sun on her bare brown flesh and the long prairie grass beneath her moccasined feet. Back then she had been his little "Smoke Eyes."

SHE WAS THE EXQUISITE TREASURE HE HAD COME TO PLUNDER
With her gray eyes flashing fire, Katherine Flynn was torn between anger and breathless awe at the sight of her old childhood friend. A respected and dedicated doctor in a small Colorado town, she'd worked hard to overcome the double prejudice she faced as a woman and an Arapaho half-breed. Why had Zach come back after all these years? Still, one look at the dangerous, steel-muscled man he'd become was enough to set her body burning with forbidden desire--and to persuade her to risk everything for one stolen moment in a handsome brigand's arms.
