Orphaned at seventeen, Kate… willful, spoiled, and beautiful…finds herself in America, an uncivilized new world. Forced to marry a dangerously attractive half-breed, she reluctantly learns of overwhelming passion and burning desire. Cruelly widowed at a young age, unstoppable determination and hard work thrust Kate into society’s “forbidden to women” entrepreneurial world… until a mysterious and handsome captor snatches it all away from her grasp. Chief Long Arrow’s fiery kisses and gentle hands stir Kate’s desires to a blazing inferno that she is unable to deny. When given the choice, will she stay with him and live amongst his people as one of them, or will she return to her civilized life of servants, mansions, and aristocrats? Could it be, as the tribe’s shaman foretold, that this delicate blonde woman-child unknowingly holds his destiny and that of his people in the palm of her little hand?
