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
