The Jewel Of Fire

Description for THE JEWEL OF FIRE by Diana L Paxon:

Slender, dark-haired Willow had been sent East as a child. Now, she returned to her mother's people, the Nez Perce of the Great Northwest, to teach them the white man's ways. The magnificent full-blooded warrior Bear had been raised to be proud, wild and free. His meeting with Willow would set two lives on a collision course - and two hearts aflame with forbidden desire.

For the year was 1877, a time of tragedy and change. Pursued by cavalry, forced onto impassable terrain, Bear's band of Nez Perce would soon be fleeing for their lives. With them would be Willow, bound by her unshakeable devotion to Bear, yet destined to be torn from his arms by another man's treachery. Swept up on an odyssey of courage and passion, it would take all her strength and love to survive...and to save them both.
