The Renegade's Heart
by Stobie Piel

Melanie Ann Muessen rides through the sunburnt plains of New Mexico Territory to photograph its inhabitants in their natural surroundings. What she discovers is a village in crisis. Years before, Rafael de Aguirre became the Renegade and protected the Tewa Pueblo. But Rafe is gone, and trouble has come again. Tewa's residents have no one to turn to--surely not their old savior's brother. The half- Zuni Diego is handsome, but he is shiftless and worthless. The villagers are convinced there is no way he could don Rafe's mask. But Melanie recognizes that in Diego's veins pumps the blood of a hero. This man can rescue his people, but first she will have to reclaim him from himself. And the only way to do that is to win his renegade heart.
