Opening Sentence: '…It was Friday night…’

Another light and fluffy romance - Tulsa Narcotics Detective Jolene Preston is stunned to learn that the man who raised her is not her biological father; instead she learns her biological father was a Native American killed in the Vietnam war. Already an outsider within her unit as its only female, Jolene wonders how much additional prejudice the men will toss her way once they discover her background. Still feeling a need to know more about her paternal culture, Jolene asks her neighbor Mason Blackfox for help.

Mason does not really want to help Jolene trace her roots as he has his own secret that he hides even from his daughter. Still he feels obligated so he guides Jolene on her quest to know more about being a part Cherokee. As Jolene and Mason begin to fall in love, his somewhat on the wild side daughter Debra demands to know more what happened to her grandparents, and why Mason won't talk about them.

Told with the background of a narcotics investigation - Jolene's police partner is worried that she is jeopardising their safety as she searches for herself. ( )
