It's 1890 in Montana. It's summer. There's a magickal blue moon, an old man who is dying and a young man who will do anything to save him. There's a green-eyed enchantress who hides behind science, so afraid of her real power...because she knows that miracles sometimes come with a deadly price. "...reminiscent of LaVyrle Spencer...." -- from a review by Rawhide & Lace, 1996 Available from Samhain Publishing's RetroRomance line.
