<p>FBI agent Alexis Toles is dispatched to New Rochelle, New York, to investigate threatening letters sent to Congressman Christopher O’Brien, and to protect his ex-wife, Cassidy, and six-year-old son, Dylan. But when she gets to New Rochelle, Alex discovers that there is more to the situation than simple stalking or political agendas; she finds that she has growing romantic feelings for Cassidy—and that the feelings are mutual.</p><p>As Alex and Cassidy explore their budding romance, they must surmount many obstacles in explaining their relationship to those around them, including Dylan. All the while, the investigation continues, and the disturbing, convoluted, and complicated web surrounding the threats begins to unravel, placing the characters’ lives in grave danger.</p><p><i>Intersection</i> is a taut political thriller that combines the action and suspense found in hit television shows like <i>24</i> with the insight and drama found in the widely popular fiction of LGBT authors such as R.

Story Behind The Book

Native Americans - especially the Plains tribes - have always fascinated me. They are struggling today to preserve their language and culture, and to tell their stories. I have done extensive research on the Kiowa tribe in order to bring readers some of their rich, tragic and proud history.

Black Wolf Books presents another authentically written novel by Magnolia Belle. Her novel Kuy Syan Joshua is a welcomed classic to the prolific writer's collection of books in this series set in the late 1800's. Centered around the American Native Kiowa people and lands, she employs genuine details and descriptions unique to the people who live there. <br /><br />Her eclectic ability to incorporate rich characters drenched in native culture while drawing in the quality of foreign presence provides an interesting backdrop which she brilliantly weaves into several plot lines. <br /><br />Two Hawks and Lana share a romance while he and his father Many Deer emerge as focal characters. T `on Ma is present in this novel and her story continues with Two Hawks asking her why she married Liam. For those who read the preceding novel T' on Ma, this novel is a satisfying sequel, especially if you longed to see T `on Ma and Two Hawks end up together and were saddened by T `on Ma's decision in the earlier novel. <br /><br />Other Native characters develop such as Gray Dove, Red Flint, Chief Kicking bird, Corn Flower, Broken Flute, White Dog, Little Rain, Bent Fox, Little Bow, Iron Crow, Big Elk and like the novel T `on Ma which focused on foreigners crossing paths with natives, this novel also shares that quality. <br /><br />Some of the foreign characters are Liam, Jason, Maeve, Patrick O Connell, Sr, Captan Mcclellan, Becca, Lana, Mr and Mrs. Blake, Mitchell, Deborah, Sheila, Eric, Billy. <br /><br />T `on Ma's sons, Blue and Kûy Syân Joshua are central and integral to the story. It is filled with unexpected, suspenseful and sad moments between them. T' on Ma and Two Hawks share Christmas and they are able to overcome the difficulties that separated them in the prior novel; however, true to life a new set of struggles emerge and the characters of this novel must discover their way through the dangers, prejudices, and harsh living of the wild land. <br /><br />This was an exceptional read and I have become a fan of Magnolia Belle's Native American T'on Ma series, by Black Wolf Books. <br /><br />5 stars<br /><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div><div style="float:left;">By </div><div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1P4D6LC9RDH3O/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Reviewer's <span style="white-space:nowrap;">Desk<span class="swSprite s_chevron custPopRight"></span></span></span></a> (Florida) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A1P4D6LC9RDH3O/ref=cm_cr_dp_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview"><br /></a></div></div> </div> <strong><span class="h3color tiny"></span></strong>
