Zeke
Monroe will do anything to protect his Abbie and make sure she is
happy, which is why he opts to settle into ranching and build his
Abbie-girl a home of her own where they can begin raising a family on
the plains of Colorado along the Arkansas River. But the encroachment
of white settlers and its affect on Zeke’s Cheyenne brothers begins to
threaten his and his family’s safety, and the paradise he and Abbie find
is short-lived. Still, nothing can kill the devotion these two share
toward each other, and it’s love that holds them together through
heartbreaking adversity outside their private world.
Excerpt
“Come back to bed, Zeke,” Abbie told him softly. “You know how I hate storms. Come and hold me.”
The rain started pelting the roof then, and he came back beside her. Both were naked, for that was the way they always slept. … She pulled the buffalo robe over them, snuggling close to him, finding perfect shelter from the storm that frightened her. She was afraid of nothing when Zeke was beside her. He was like a rock, indestructible, strong, hard, never afraid. She lifted her face to his. Then his lips covered hers and she had no defense against the way he had of enticing her, as if his manliness and his touch were not enough. …

About Rosanne Bittner
I've been writing for nearly thirty years and to date have had 57 novels published ,
all about the American West of the 1800's and Native Americans. I write
romance, but not the typical bodice-ripping adventures. My stories are
deep love stories, often family sagas told as a series. It is the hero
and heroine's love that holds them together through the trials and
tribulations of settling America's western frontiers. I absolutely love
the Rockies, the Tetons, the Sierras, and the wide-open plains, prairies
and desert land west of the Mississippi. In my books, I strive to tell
the truth about the settling of the West and how it affected our
American Indians, as well as the gritty depth of what our brave pioneers
suffered in their search for free land and a better life.
I am a member of the Nebraska and Oklahoma Historical Societies, my local southwest Michigan historical society, Women Writing the West, Mid-MichiganRomance Writers of America (treasurer) and the national RWA, and a local charity group called the Coloma Lioness Club. I help run a family business and love doing things with my three young grandsons. If you visit my web site atwww.rosannebittner.com,
