Once in the Dakota Territory, the two men meet a woman destined to help them; unknown to all is that she is the ultimate target.

She must struggle to keep herself from crossing a line that will destroy all the years of hard work she has accomplished.

Between outlaws and the furious brother of Giant Bear's wife, their love will be driven to the very limits… maybe even beyond!
Melissa and Giant Bear's wife both disappear mysteriously on their wedding day when a scheme of revenge against the woman who shot his brothers ensnares them all. With the two men killed in the process, who will save the women now.
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!

New Author Loretta Beaver Presents: White Buffalo (New Beginnings) Series: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
My Christmas present to you all is another piece from my third book Dream Dancer and the Celtic Witch :)
Dream Dancer’s mouth dropped open in surprised shock as his sister walked in dressed in a flowing peach satin gown, which was scooped daringly low in the front and swept the floor in a cloud of silk. It almost seemed that she was floating as she walked towards him with a lithe grace not seen in the pampered nobility surrounding them.
Raven daintily took his arm and let him lead her towards the Queen, with a swift flick of her wrist, which she had diligently practiced in secret; she opened the fan that was in her right hand so nobody could see her talking. “If you breathe one word of this to anyone at home I will vehemently deny the fact that I wore silk!”
Devon walking behind them snickered in delight as his brother-in-law choked trying not to laugh as they reached the Queen, before they got to her Devon walked up to stand beside his wife. Immediately both men bowed and Raven dropped into a deep curtsy, it had taken her a week to get it right, of course, she would not fess up to that not even to her husband.
Queen Victoria stared down at the three bowed heads then got up out of her chair and regally walked down the dais to stand in front of them. “Rise!”
Queen Victoria frowned in irritation not having realized she would have to look up even at Edwards’s sister, and both men dwarfed Raven. She waved her hand in aggravation as she indicated the two men but addressed Raven. “How can you stand to have such towering men around you all the time?”
Raven grinned and leaned forward dramatically pretending it was a secret, but made sure all the nobility standing around gawking at her heard as well. “Well your Majesty its like this if you find yourself getting a crick in the neck all you have to do is give the offender a swift kick in the shin then when he bends down to message his leg he will be eye level with you. All you have to do then is reach out and garb his ear give it just a slight twist and pull that way he can’t get away and will stay at eye level with you until you are finished talking to him!”
Raven with a perfectly straight face, pretending she didn’t hear the gasps of out rage around her or the choking noises of both men as they tried not to laugh uproarsly at Raven’s antics, snapped her fan open then waved it in front of herself a few times nonchalantly as if she had not just shocked the whole royal court.
Queen Victoria laughed in delight and clapped her hands in approval. “Well I will have to remember that! I think we are going to get along just fine Lady Raven, welcome to England.”
Raven winked at the Queen before snapping her fan shut then swooped gracefully into a deep curtsy with a slight husky chuckle. I believe we will your majesty, I believe we will!”

Opinions on the looks of my new blog
Friday, May 20, 2011
Edward Milton Beaver born April 21, 1958...died tragically on May 20, 2008 at the age of 50 years old
This is the last video in the Isaacs collection that Ed would play over and over again.
This is also the video that helped me through the first two year of his death and I put this note to my readers in my second book Raven and the Golden Eagle because without this I might not have finished my two books.
I would also like too thank God for his enduring Love that last’s forever, even though at times it does not seem like he cares. I would like to share a brief story with my readers of my grief if I may. Edward died a month before we were to be remarried, I lost my job a year later then to make things worse I hit a deer and almost totaled the front of my car. This all happened in less then two years I was depressed it seemed God hated me at the time. I put on a DVD that Edward had bought before he had died called the Isaacs. A song they sing called Stand Still and let God move sent shivers down my spine. I looked up imploringly. “Okay God obviously you are trying to tell me something if that is what you want I will stand still please tell me what do you want from me!”
While I waited for God to tell me what he wanted me to do next I picked up my pen and finished two books I had started when I was twenty four, Passionate Alliance and the second book to the series Raven & The Golden Eagle. Wouldn't you know it I sent the first one in and it was published just because God gives you hard times it doesn’t mean he hates you even though it seems that way sometimes. Remember that if you stand still and let God move in your life after such tragedies something good usually follows. Not when we want it to but when God says its time and I pray that your dreams come true as mine have.

Thought and Prayers
I have learned since the tragic death of my husband three years ago on May 20th that even though God takes something away he hasn't abandond you and something good will come your way when all hope seems to be lost.
This video was Edwards favorite and even though he was taken so suddenly I hope it will bring you as much comfort as it has brought me over the last three years.
Passionate Alliance Update
Hope Amazon will speed up shipping dates for the softcover soon.
Hope to get Raven and the Golden Eagle in an ebook as soon as I can will let everyone know when its ready.
You can now get my books at Coles bookstores, or online at Ingram.
