Louisa
Rodriguez was out on the desert gathering fuel when the
scalp hunters came, massacred her family and all the people
of her village, shot her in the head and left her for dead.
Regaining consciousness, she buried the people she had loved,
and when she was done she stripped off her bloody clothes
and walked naked into the mountains. Where she was reborn.
When horse wrangler Ring Crossman came across the half-wild
woman in the western wilderness, she would not tell him
her name. So he gave her one. Blaze, for the lightning-like
streak of white in her long, black hair where a bullet had
creased her skull. He gave her his heart, too, although
he knew there was no room in her life for anything but revenge.
Vengeance consumed
Bane as well. His life was devoted to finding the man who raped
his Apache mother and fathered him. Then
The Bringer of Thunder, as he was called by his people,
crossed trails with the only human being whose thirst for
a man’s blood was as great as his own. And when they
discovered they stalked the same prey, the destructive power
of the storm they unleashed consumed all around them. Including
themselves.

"Helen
A. Rosburg delves deeply into the subtleties of the mountains
and desert and
into the deepest recesses of the human heart. Blaze Of
Lightning, Roar Of Thunder is a compelling novel of loss
and renewal, of revenge and redemption; a credible,
inspiring tale of lasting love and its power to endure, to flourish,
to heal wounds deemed not healable. A one-sit
read."
~ Vicki Hinze, www.vickihinze.com
“…Blaze
is full of strength and beauty, and her ability to grow
after such horrific trauma is captivating.”
~ Publishers Weekly
“Ms. Rosburg
is a gifted storyteller, creating a compelling tale, sucking
the reader into the pages to become part of
the story. As each page turns, the reader experiences the
West as it was in the days of hostile banditos and bounty
hunters.”
~ Lauren Calder, Affaire de Coeur
“Rosburg captures your attention with a riveting prologue
and doesn’t let go until the gut-wrenching climax. She
delivers strong, motivated characters, attention to detail,
a well-drawn backdrop, and a story as old as the West. This
is truly a memorable read.”
~ Kathe Robin, Romantic Times BOOKreviews
