Naked Edge
by Pamela Clare

What do you do when desire drives you to the very brink?

The day Navajo journalist Katherine James met Gabriel Rossiter, the earth literally moved beneath her feet. Nearly killed in a rockslide while hiking, she found her life in the tall park ranger’s hands. Although she can’t forget him she thinks she’ll never see him again. She is crushed when she recognizes her rescuer among the law enforcement officers raiding a sweat lodge ceremony one night, throwing her and her friends off Mesa Butte, land they consider sacred.

Gabe long ago swore he would never again lose himself to a woman—not even one with long dark hair and big eyes that seem to see right through him. But from the moment he first sees Kat, the attraction he feels is undeniable. Appalled by what he has been ordered to do, he’s determined to get to the bottom of recent events at Mesa Butte—and to keep Kat safe.

But asking questions can be dangerous—almost as dangerous as risking one’s heart. And soon Kat and Gabe’s passion for the truth—and each other—makes them targets for those who would do anything, even kill, to keep Native Americans off their sacred land...

Pamela Clare's Bio

I have been in love with fiction since I discovered 'Misty of Chincoteague' at the age of 9. By the time I was 12, I'd read all of Marguerite Henry's books, along with the entire Nancy Drew series, the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Ayn Rand. Already at that age, I knew I wanted to be a novelist when I grew up.

Then, when I was 15, something extraordinary happened. I discovered romance novels. I gave up depressing Russian classics for stories that made my heart beat faster—tales of bravery, passion, and love.

I had the good fortune of becoming an exchange student during my senior year of high school and went to Denmark. I fell in love with the small Scandinavian country and stayed for almost three years, traveling throughout Europe and learning to speak Danish fluently. My time visiting European castles and cathedrals awakened in me a love of history. When I returned to the United States, I got a degree in Classics—Latin, Greek, ancient history, and archaeology.

Although I did work on a master's degree in archaeology, I realized that I was using college to avoid the challenge of building the career I truly wanted—that of a fiction author. I dropped out of graduate school and went to work for a newspaper and held almost every position in the newsroom before becoming editor. Over the years, I've won numerous awards for my work as a columnist and journalist.

I now write historical and romantic suspense romances. I love nothing more than the moment my characters come alive in their own time period and begin interacting with the world they inhabit. Through them, I am able to travel to other times and places—colonial America, 18th-century Ireland, the Viking age.

I live in Boulder, Colorado, next to the unbelievable beauty of the Rocky Mountains. I love to hike and especially enjoy watching birds and wildlife with my two teen-age sons, Alec and Benjamin. My other interests include drawing and painting, quilting, listening to music, horseback riding, world travel and reading.
