With the Mississippi beckoning, Colonel Samuel Shelby is eager
for his mission--making peace with the fierce Osage Indians. He is
certain the task will prove easier than making peace with his
faithless wife. The dangerous wilderness seems a welcome
refuge--until he meets beautiful Olivia St. Etienne.

Fans will fall in love with Shirl Henke all over again! Deep As the
Rivers will charm you! A sweeping saga written by a gifted
storyteller!" -- Kristina Wright, Literary Times
"Henke has written a wonderful story for those who love
historical romance. The book was easy to read for me because the
characterizations and the scenes are so well painted. I had put off
reading this book while I read more familiar authors but now I will
read her books as I come across them. There was mystery, sensuality
that stoked my imagination, and romance. Yes Shelby and Olivia fight
alot. Neither of them really know how to love. They learn. The
intrigue is wonderful. I read the book in a day because I had to
know the ending. Ms. Henke gave me an ending that made sense and
satisfied. I recommend this for a great read. In the end, I wished I
knew more about that time in history so that the book would have
been more real for me but then perhaps my unfamiliarity with the
period fed my hunger to get to the end. If you like to travel away
from your present circumstance and you want a little sexy spice in
your novel, read it and enjoy." --
