HAWK'S WOMAN

ISBN 0-8217-5897-7
Zebra Splendor® (5/98)

They fell in love the instant they met, when he was nine and she was six.   Hawk-on-the-Moon and Abby McCormick.  The half-Comanche bastard son of an indifferent Texas rancher, and the sweet and beautiful girl who was the apple of her daddy's eye.  No one approved of their association, but they would not be denied.   Until their love matures, and one evening Hawk is ambushed and left for dead on his way home from Abby's.

For four years she mourned his death, until the day he rode back into her life, a cold and dangerous stranger with her beloved Hawk's face.  Blaming her father for the attack on him, Hawk has come back for revenge.  But instead of the hated, all-powerful monster whom he believes tried to kill him, Hawk finds a broken man claiming his innocence, and a secret that threatens to jeopardize all of Hawk's dreams.  Soon Hawk and Abby are plunged into a test of courage as past and present collide in a fury of danger and desire.

WARRIOR'S SONG

ISBN 0-8217-5603-6
Zebra Lovegram® (3/97)

On the surface, they have nothing in common. The half-breed known only as Wolf was raised by a brutal, sadistic stranger; Brianna Flanigan by kind, loving, fun-filled parents. Wolf doesn't know the meaning of the word family; Brie considers it the most important word on earth. He's big and fierce-looking; she's dainty and delicate. He's dark and strong; she's fair and looks fragile. He's a private man, a brooding, uncommunicative loner; she's an open book, outgoing and friendly. He trusts no one; she believes in the basic goodness of mankind. He's an angry man, always ready to fight; she likes to tease and laugh and enjoys practical jokes. That they should meet, these two so very different people, seems impossible. That they should find common ground and form an alliance to save her ranch is unthinkable. That they should learn to trust each other, grow to care for each other, is disastrous. That they should fall in love is . . . inevitable. 

"Ms. Hudson knows how to play on readers' heart strings and strum an emotionally powerful tune.  Exquisitely rendered and imbued with a deep sense of family love, WARRIOR'S SONG is another masterpiece from this consumate storyteller."   (4 1/2)  -- Kathe Robin, Romantic Times
