Book 2: Raven and the Golden Eagle

Chief Giant Bear, blood brother to Jed Brown, had successfully lived all these years by his vow to find a way to live in peace with the white man. Now he finds himself in a quandary as a vision gone awry causes a chain reaction that will not stop snowballing; even Golden Dove his beautiful blonde wife turns against him. In desperation, he tries to save his people by forcing his beloved granddaughter into marriage with a reluctant captive Englishman.

Raven known to the people as their 'Protector', must stop not only her grandfather from forcing her into a loveless marriage but also the massacre of her people if she refuses to marry the Englishman. In her quest, she unearths a plot to take over the land as greed and hatred for her grandfather's peaceful ways threatens their way of life.

Devon, known as Lord Rochester the second son of the Earl of Rochester in England, had travelled thousands of miles in order to live for one year on a barren piece of land in the middle of the savage Montana wilderness. His grandfathers will stipulate he couldn't sell it otherwise. Disillusioned by court life and hating what the English nobility had become, he views this new change as an opportunity to get away from the life he hated; in the back of his mind was the possibility of starting a new life, even though his purpose in coming here is to sell it. Everything changes when his wagon train is wiped out by a Cheyenne war party and he is drawn unwillingly into a struggle between the peaceful bear tribe of the Cheyenne and an unknown source. The only way to save these people is to sacrifice his freedom and marry the granddaughter of the chief, but should he!

Mell and Jed must race from North Dakota to Western Montana to reach Giant Bear with a warning from the Cheyenne's sacred white buffalo before it is too late to save them all.

Book 3: Dream Dancer & the Celtic Witch

Earl Edward Summerset, the three quarter Cheyenne grandson of Chief Giant Bear; known to his people as Dream Dancer, finally finishes his schooling and becomes Doctor Summerset. He learns as he reaches manhood at the court of Queen Victoria the intricacies, power, and betrayal that the English nobility is capable of exhibiting! As his power grows within him, he must learn to become just like the people that would use him… cold and secretive.

Edward becomes drawn unexpectedly into a battle to save a reluctant Welsh heiress from the evil clutches of her cousin. Will he succeed in helping her or will he find himself in more danger than he thought possible as a power lying dormant since the beginning of time comes to life; sensing a way to be released, it tries to gain control of Dream Dancer through the Celtic Witch. Thwarted by another power it must find another way.

Crystin, the Lady of Llannor Castle… goddaughter, as well as a distant relation to Queen Victoria, wakes up with no memories and only the assurance of the Queen herself to go by. Betrothed against her will to the mysterious black-haired Earl of Summerset, whom she just learned was a savage from another country; she fights an inner struggle with herself to remember who she is. Starring at the stranger in the mirror, she touches her pure white hair then shudders in revulsion. The Celtic woman was sure it was not supposed to be this colour, but what could have happened to her to cause this! Putting her hand on her distended belly, she feels an unexpected maternal feeling. How she became pregnant was just as much a mystery to her as her pure white hair. She was sure she had never met Edward before so how could she be six months pregnant by him. Struggling to understand, she clutches the Celtic dragon medallion she was never without, but even it gave her no answers… only more questions!

Passionate Alliance
by: Lauretta Beaver

Rarely are readers of romances privileged enough to find those that contain intriguing plotlines, solid and accurately drawn characters all set in a sound basis of historical fact. Lauretta Beaver's Passionate Alliance is just such a unique Western Romance. A quick glance at the listings in this category yields the usual cookie-cutter characters that follow the same tired stories of Western Romance's past. Beaver's book starts with the legend of the white buffalo, a figure that is sacred in many American Indian cultures. As the story unfolds, Jed Brown, who is also known as Grey Wolf, is burying his Indian wife and son. Giant Bear, a chief in the area, joins Brown in avenging the killers of both men's wives. With each step of their journey, more mystery unfolds and romance! Their path leads them straight to firecracker Melissa Ray, a small town sheriff clearly ahead of her time. On their adventure to see justice done, there are shootouts, cowboys and Indians, everything you would expect from a Western Romance.
Like any good romance novel, the work does contain well-drawn and true-to-life sex scenes, but they never feel either overly sleazy or too frilly as readers will recognize in most romance novels. Character coupled with story are always the hallmarks of good writing no matter the genre and Beaver manages to bring to a life a smarter, truer Western Romance for readers of the genre to explore. There are some deviations from strict historical timelines that Beaver rightly shares with readers, but this in no way takes away from her story. Traditional fans of romance are sure to find all of the escapism that they crave from such novels while those who do not typical read the genre will find themselves pleasantly surprised how Passionate Alliance does not fall into the same old molds of traditional romance. Truly, Beaver's works are smart and sexy reading.
