Velvet Savage — Kathleen Drymon

Trained as a Crow warrior woman, Kalina fought with knife and teeth against the hated Blackfoot enemy - until the fierce brave, Two Shadows, vanquished her in battle. When she tried to resist him, the arrogant, vengeful savage dumped her in the river, flung her up behind him on his horse, then forced her to lie beside him on his sleeping mat, as if she were his slave. But though she'd die before admitting it, the heat of his strong body, the very beating of his heart, sparked something deep within her. She longed to turn into his muscled arms, to feel the full length of his lean body pressing against her burning flesh.
