Because of Her

Marjane Sweetwater has spent her life fighting—for justice, for women's rights, and for a future where tradition doesn't silence choice. As the daughter of a powerful tribal chief, she knows exactly how much change her people need…and how hard it will be to get it. Dakota Whitecloud has spent his life running—from his heritage, from his anger, and from a past he doesn't fully understand. But when a violent encounter forces him back onto the reservation he's long rejected, everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. As buried truths come to light and old wounds are exposed, Marjane and Dakota find themselves drawn together by something neither of them can ignore. Passion ignites quickly—but so do conflict, danger, and the weight of their pasts. When a desperate act turns deadly and forces them to confront what truly matters, they must decide: walk away from each other…or risk everything for a love that could change not only their lives, but the future of their people. Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do…is face where you come from—and who you're meant to become.
