MIDNIGHT FIRE

September 1992
He was a hard-riding, hard-drinking drifter, a half-breed who had no use for a frightened white girl fleeing an unwanted wedding. He told himself he needed only the money she offered to guide her across the plains, but half-way between Galveston and Ogallala, where the burning prairie met the endless night sky, he made her his woman.

Now she was his to protect, his to cherish, and he would allow no man - white or Indian - to come between them. There in the vast wilderness where his desire had ignited hers, he swore to change his life path, to fulfill the challenge of his vision quest, if only he could keep her love.

Excerpt...

"Carrie, what's wrong?"

"Everything," she sobbed, her voice muffled by teh heavy buffalo robe. "I love you, and you don't love me. I want you, and you keep pushing me away. I can't help it if I'm not pretty, like Red. I..."

"Carrie!" Morgan threw the covers aside and swept her into his arms, hugging her close. "You don't love me, honey. You don't even know me."

"I do, too."

"And I do want you, Carrie. You know I do. But it isn't right. You're a beautiful woman. The only reason I push you away is because I don't want to hurt you. You're so damn young, you don't understand how it is, how people would look at you if they saw us together."

"I don't care," she said, sniffling back her tears. "I'm not asking you to marry me, just love me!"

AFFAIRE DE COEUR said:
This is a grand tale of a soul that is lost then restored, a pride regained and two hearts that, through faith and love, become one. Each of Ms. Baker's superb novels seem to reflect all of these aspects.

Morgan, a half-breed who thinks he's worthless is lying dead drunk and slowly drying from a knife wound to his side, when Carolyn Chandler, the spoiled, pampered only daughter of Archibald Chandler, the president of the local bank, practically trips over him.

Carolyn is running away from home and from an arranged marriage when she encounters the prone man. She fears the worst, but when she nudges him with her toe, the poor man groans. Carolyn knew that she should just continue on her way and let Fate take care of him, somehow she can't. Besides, she needs a place to hide.

Fate takes a hand when these two unlikely people come together and teaches them the valuable lessons they need to learn about love, life, and each other.
