The Outsider by Terry Lawrence

description

Once she'd slipped inside his heart, could he ever again be alone?

Susannah Moran was only doing her job when she switched the dice at the Manitou Lodge Casino -- but when ruggedly handsome Joe Bond grabbed her wrist, she'd never been caught so fast... nor by a man who set off alarms all over her body! Joe didn't know what scam the distracting redhead was pulling, but he wanted her anyway -- wanted to kiss her mouth, run his fingers through her beautiful hair, and possess the temptress who was everything he couldn't have. He let her go, never expecting to see her again, but when Susannah was hired to go over the Indian council's books, she saw her destiny in his deep blue eyes. Joe wanted her pale fire, her warmth -- and he wanted not to want her at all. Both knew about not fitting in -- she the army brat who'd never had a true home, he the man of honor torn between two cultures. Once Joe had called her his ninimoshe, his sweetheart. Could Susannah persuade him that their hearts and souls were joined, that their love could bridge two worlds?
