When Sean O'Brian walks into the Gilded Lily for a drink, he likes what he sees in the new singer. He also knows, the lovely Kate Hartland won't last long if saloon owner, Nathan Boggs, gets his hands on her.
In a desperate need for some quick cash, Kate gives herself to Sean, then an unexpected departure from town puts her into serious trouble. When she arrives in a Commanche camp as a captive, Greyhawk claims the white woman as his own, and with his grandfather's blessing, marries Kate, claiming she carries his child. Kate doesn't understand a word of the language, but her hatred for the Commanche runs deep for what they did to her father, and she's determined to escape the camp. Greyhawk's eyes remind her of a certain Irishman and she doesn't understand the attraction, to this enemy.
Only one or two people know that Greyhawk walks in the white man's world as Sean O'Brian. The half breed is using his parentage to work with an army colonel, in the hopes of creating some kind of truce between whites and Commanche. The goal is an enviable one and will be difficult, at best, to achieve.
Lord of the Plains is an intriguing story of one man's love for the two worlds he inherited from his parents. His Irish father wants to see peace between the two peoples and Sean/Greyhawk will do everything he can to see it come about. The story centers around two strong characters; one who would try to change his worlds to keep people alive, and the other who must face her prejudices and decide what she'll do about them.
Secondary characters are colorful and add to the plot, providing more background for the battle between red and white cultures. Which culture is best? Why not the best of both worlds? Sean has to decide where he will stand in the end, and what secrets, if any, he'll continue to keep.
Kate and Sean have some serious decisions to make. Can they live with their choices? Lord of the Plains will provide the answers, in this moving novel of love, trust and bigotry.
