"In 1879, Lise Dupree has earned a respected place as Omaha's head librarian by hiding her part-Sioux heritage. But when she learns her ailing aunt has been arrested with a band of Ponca Indians, she agrees to help mount a legal battle, never realizing her actions will force her to change the way she defines herself. District Attorney Zach Spencer has spent his life emulating his grandfather, an influential attorney and politician. Gramps taught him that justice and the law are synonymous. Now Zach is launching his own political career, but he never suspects his next case and the fiery Lise Dupree will force him to question his assumptions. On opposite sides of the Standing Bear case, Lise and Zach discover an immediate and ever increasing attraction. As they encounter secrets about the past, sabotage, blackmail, and violence, they discover new truths about life and themselves. To realize their future together, they must embrace the changes that have allowed them to open their hearts to one another." -- Back cover.
