This is a wonderful book and very touching. O'banyon is a wonderful story teller that keeps me up all night reading this book and others. throughout most of their journy Alana doesn't speak a word and he thinks she doesn't speak english, it is only to save his life from a bunch of pathetic outlaws that she utters her first words. He finds her to be a very capable woman, unlike any others he had met before, and then he hopelessly falls in love with her.

Description from the back of the book:

Alana Caldwell cursed the white blood that ran through her veins! The blue-eyed half-breed had known nothing but joy among the Cheyenne, but the white man had destroyed her way of life, and now the overbearing Captain Nicholas Ballinger had arrived to escort her - against her will - back to her father's home in Virginia. She fought the darkly handsome officer at every turn, clinging to her Indian ways and wondering at his notions of civilization. For certainly there was nothing civilized about the untamed yearnings he awakened as he cupped her ripe curves, rained tender kisses over her soft form and led her into a world of unforgettable ecstasy.

Nicholas Ballinger had one last duty to perform as a U.S. Cavalry officer - to make sure the troublesome half-breed waif, Alana Caldwell, safely reached her father in Virginia. Ballinger had no patience with females, and this one was proving to be a stubborn baggage, refusing his help and rebelling like a hellion against his attempts to get her cleaned up and presentable for the Richmond society she was about to join. He simply wanted Alana out of her filthy buckskins and off his hands, but once he glimpsed her - transformed from bedraggled brat to alluring beauty - he wasn't quite so eager to be rid of the raven-haired temptress. He wanted to hold her forever, to kiss her hungrily and savor her sweet response, to show her a love as fiery as a Cheyenne Sunrise

* I was really enjoyed this book & would've probably gave it 4 stars had I Nicholas been more likable. I really liked him the first third to half of the book but then I got sick of hearing him tell Alanna (Yes, 2 n's...not sure why they have 1 n on the back cover because that's not how it was spelled in the book) that she was his. "You are mine" he said so many times that I wanted to slap him & he seemed a little slow in the head because he never seemed to understand anything Alanna was telling him. Other that that I enjoyed the book quite a bit. If you are looking for a hot passionate romance though this book is not for you. It's a little slow in that department & they are apart quite often in the book. If a nice slow adventure is o.k. with you then give it a try.
