1887-Washington Territory: For a brief moment their worlds merged as one. There were no boundaries, no gates, and no regrets. A kiss would have sealed this moment forever, if only he would. Instead he pulled his hand away from her shoulder, and stared into her eyes like he's linked to her very soul. Port Townsend, Washington is the last place Colleen Charles wanted to be. The daughter of a respected physician and the woman with the strange white-blue eyes the town folk whispered about. She felt like an outcast in her own world, and found refuge among White Wolf and the Noatche people. Until his people were forced to flee into the Canadian wilderness. How could their world crumble so quickly? White Wolf is on his sacred vision quest when he's wounded by a hunter's rifle. He's dazed and confused and found himself at the mercy of a young white woman. She brought him into her home, and saved his life. He returned to his village and found himself haunted by her kindness, but they were from different worlds; he's Indian, she is not. To him, it's an impossible match. Yet his heart's tormented with love for the white woman, he calls Blue Starlight.
