The Zebra Affaire


Book Description

ANTI-POACHING #RhinoProtector EDITION "INTENSELY DAZZLING...NOT A BLACK AND WHITE STORY, A RAINBOW STORY WITH THE RICH COLORS OF LIVES IN TURMOIL." - Elizabeth Newton, author of 'View from the Sixth Floor' THE ZEBRA AFFAIRE: An Apartheid Love Story IT'S THE SPRING OF '76. For Elsa, her affair with Stanwell may well prove lethal, as she's white and he's black, and they dared to fall in love in apartheid South Africa. The terrified lovers are the prey in a deadly manhunt from the golden city of Johannesburg to the exotic but dangerous wilds of the African bushveld. When affairs of the State battle affaires of the heart, ordinary people become heroes! The Zebra Affaire is a thrilling fusion of romance and suspense-laced with rich South African history. The tension is palpable as the persecuted couple race against time and bigotry. Reviewers rave about this intimate, yet dangerous love story; that's set against a canvas that is both vividly authentic and powerfully provocative. "A book to savor slowly...appreciating each moment...such was the quality of the writing. One of the best books I've read this year." - Jean Gill, author of 'Song at Dawn' "The story of Stanwell and Elsa really touched me. Racial discrimination was so dehumanizing. It was a real privilege to read the history, a period of pain and hope, as seen through Mark Fine's eyes." - Thandi Lujabe-Rankoe, Former Freedom Fighter & Senior South African Diplomat "The Zebra Affaire grips your soul and won't let go. Never mind zebras, think lions, raw and roar." - Geoff Nelder, author of 'ARIA: Left Luggage'

There she tended the wounded brought to the mission's infirmary and vowed no man would ever touch her heart again--certainly not Black Hawk, the disturbingly sensual Ojibwa warrior she was tenderly nursing back to health. A Fearless Brave. . . Black Hawk had never allowed a woman to distract him from the dark dream of vengeance he had harbored against his hated Sioux enemy since boyhood. But soon the warmth in Rachel's eyes began melting the ice that shrouded his soul, and when danger threatened the mission, the fierce warrior spirited away the beautiful white angel to the safety of his own village. There Rachel discovered a new peace among the gentle Ojibwa, while the tenderness in Black Hawk's fiery touch ignited a sudden passion--convincing them both that they shared a love as bold and timeless as the untamed plains of the wild Northwest. 110,000 Words
