Product Description
From Booklist
Undercover FBI agent Dane White Eagle and Dr. Claire Colby are repeatedly thrown together. When Dane's cancer-stricken little sister is shot, Claire is the one who declares her dead in the hospital emergency room. Later, she is called to testify against him in the trial that sends him to prison and ends up treating him after he is knifed by another inmate. Then, when she takes a job running the clinic on the Cold Creek Lakota Reservation, she finds that Dane has returned there after being freed on a technicality. While Dane continues to pursue his mission to find an Ecstasy lab, Claire wonders how she can be falling for him, still believing him to be a criminal. A true storyteller, Aitken delivers a riveting, impossible-to-put-down read with memorable and sexy characters, an unforgettable plot, and impeccable pacing. Dane is not a stereotypical "Indian," and Aitken, herself Native American, pulls no punches in depicting the grim reality of the reservation. Diana Tixier Herald

Romantic Times - TOP PICK, Nov 18 2004
By Judie Aitken - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secret Shadows (Paperback)
The author is delighted to share this review with you...
The brutal murder of his baby sister, Kylee, puts undercover FBI agent Dane White Eagle in a unique and dangerous position. He is trying to infiltrate the Big Elk gang, which manufactures a deadly form of Ecstasy. The FBI hopes that by pinning Kylee's murder on Dane, he can get into prison, and more importantly, next to Bobby Big Elk. Dr. Claire Colby ends up involved with Dane. It was Claire who treated Kylee's gunshot wound and who testified at Dane's trial. She is shocked when months later, Dane's murder conviction is overturned and he goes home to the reservation where Claire now works. The evidence points to Dane being a scoundrel, but she can't help feeling there is more to him than meets the eye. Both Dane and Claire appear to be experiencing the same strange dream, but what does it mean? Can they figure it out before danger boils over? The culture and beliefs of the Lakota people play a significant and influential role in Aitken's mesmerizing novel. Having to keep so many secrets from those he loves places a great burden on Dane. Choices made and justice sought make this extremely powerful reading. Jill M. Smith - reviewer
