India Fox was born lucky. With an ambassador father, raised in foreign embassies, and with an ear for languages, she sizzles with impatience. She'll use everything to get what she wants, to be a television foreign correspondent, going, she promises herself, "where the bullets are flying." Hardly looking back at three astonishing breaks and what it took to get them, she lands a job at World Broadcast News and is sent to Beirut just as the Middle East is set to explode. The British correspondent Jack Spear takes her on an erratic pace into one set of intrigues, then another. He's a compelling romantic interest, but she has her own ambitions. She pushes too far in an interview with Syria's President Assad, has a scare in a Syrian prison, on her own, instigates a foray into a terrorist camp. The CIA becomes interested in this blonde who has garnered vital information into the mechanisms of Middle East terror groups. Will she work for the agency?

Her last obstacle to her PhD is her famous doctoral thesis chairman who harbors an impatience with women in the sciences. A collision of the heart is certain when the two realize their IQ's don't stand a chance against the inevitable.

As they traverse the wide plains, mountains and valleys, their differences fade. Lovers under skies filled with clouds or stars, the realization fills their hearts that Jane must leave. She slips away one night to Fort Defiance. The soldiers are amazed to see a yellow-haired woman emerge from the dawn mist wrapped in a Navajo blanket, riding an Indian pony. Jane's life will settle, but she will have Kaab't's child. Will he ever know?
