Sanctuary by Sharon K. Garner

A double cross that keeps on giving, a Brazilian ex-mercenary who wants to live in peace, a children's book illustrator who's thrust into a danger she doesn't understand...with a man she doesn't want to love.

Emily Tally Noble, a children's book illustrator, rushes to Brazil after finding two men searching her missing brother's London flat. James had told her to go to Christovao Santos if anything happened to him. What he didn't tell her was whether he trusted Chris--or if Chris might be responsible. She's shocked to learn her brother crewed on a mercenary operation led by Christovao Santos, an op that went horribly wrong. Emily steers clear of military types since her British Special Forces fiancé's death, yet she's immediately attracted to this big half-Brazilian, half American ex-mercenary, the most aggressive, overbearing, infuriating, and annoying man she's ever shot at.

Native American Historical (paranormal) Novel

 Her disregard for all suitors labeled Elisabeth Ryan an old maid. But dreams have promised her a future that will rectify a tragedy of some long ago past.
Spring, 1843, she was the lone survivor of an Indian attack on the Oregon-bound wagon train.
His sacred vision prophesied Arakashe's place in history as Crow war chief who would lead his people to peace with the white man...with an amber-eyed white woman from his far ago past by his side to temper his loathing of the interloper.
But enigmatic dreams and the scheming and jealousy of others thwarted their passion and their destiny of uniting race and culture, and drove the lovers apart...again.
Captain Aaron Ross, in love with her himself, rescued Elisabeth from the savages, only to inadvertently deliver her to the dangerous, powerful Blackfoot warrior, Pehta.
Arakashe will risk his own life and all he holds dear, including his people and his destiny, to reunite with his most precious possession, Elisabeth, and to right the mistakes of two lifetimes...
