- PRIMITIVE NIGHTS (Candace Wall)
Two different worlds, one distinct love…
PRIMITIVE NIGHTS tells the story of International Aide worker, Myla Jordan and Peruvian tribal leader, Damon Hanson – known to his tribe as Maglayo. Two people whose lives couldn’t be more different or complex, yet a succinct affair blooms into a love neither of them expected.
Thrust into the midst of the very tribe she is trying to protect, Myla is shocked to encounter a tribal leader with green eyes and lighter skin than his heritage should bequeath. Wild, strong, and educated by his English mother, Damon’s concern for his tribe and the innate kindness she discovers within his tough exterior not only win her heart, but drive her to find a way to protect him and his tribe.
The only contact Damon’s ever had with white men has been cruel and devastating and Myla’s gentleness and faith in the good in all humanity gives him a renewed hope for his tribe’s survival. The knowledge that Myla cannot live among his people and his anxiety of entering her world threaten to keep them apart.
With rival tribes and illness adding to the difficulty they will face, Myla and Damon must bridge the gap between their cultures and stand against a common enemy that will seek to destroy them all.
