title: Naked Edge (I-Team, Book 4)
author:  Pamela Clare 
description: In Clare's latest I-Team romantic suspense, half-Navajo journalist Kat is participating in an inipi prayer session when there is a brutal police raid. Kat's leg is broken; luckily she is saved by mountaineer/ranger Gabe Rossiter. Cynical and bitter, Gabe doesn't believe in love, unlike devout, dedicated Kat, who believes sex is sacred. They resist attraction until Kat's Grandpa Red Cloud turns up dead with a rare artifact near his body. The official report insists he was drunk. Kat is determined to clear his name, and reclaim sacred land under dispute. Likewise, Gabe is determined to protect Kat, even when he loses his job over it. Clare offers a respectful portrayal of Navajo culture, and a fascinating look at the journalistic world, but the real draw is Kate and Gabe-contrasting his tough guy cynicism with her intelligent passion for truth. Watching the pair find love and compromise as they race to solve a deadly mystery makes this a solid page-turner. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  This book is humbly dedicated to the Dine people of Black Mesa for opening
  their hogaans to a lost Bilagaanaa journalist, feeding her roasted corn,
  frybread, and mutton stew, and sharing their troubles and joys and prayers
  with her. I came to the dinetah to help you, and in the end it was you who
  helped me. Ahehee'.
