Don Miguel Navarro
He has a major rancho to run and its people to provide for and protect. Hungry for companionship and love, Miguel hires lovely Cara from Boston to care for his brain-damaged wife and lighten the load on his aging aunt. Yet there are undercurrents here Cara would not understand, and how can he keep her safe once his heart warms to her caring and fire?
Cara Lindsay
She’s hired help, the companion to the mentally deficient wife injured in a mysterious fall. When she understands Miguel’s feelings for her, she responds in kind to the tough and irresistible Spaniard. Yet there are mysteries here, and people die. Until a ship sails for Boston in the fall she’s trapped in the midst of danger and an impossible love, for she would never be any man’s mistress. The next time the ranch bells ring and an eagle cries, will she be the next to die?
