Resa McCutcheon was only fourteen, but she'd seen her family slaughtered, she'd knifed a man to death - and she'd fallen in love. He was dark-eyed Boone Garcia, and though he was one of the bandits who'd robbed her wagon, he was gentle and kind.
As they rode the Santa Fe Trail, Resa never dreamed their love would end. But once they reached the frontier city, Boone enrolled her in boarding school and established a gambling parlor.
Now Resa was no longer a doll-clutching child. She was a woman, with a woman's dreams and a woman's desires. She swore she would marry the man she loved, and together they would forge a FRONTIER DYNASTY.
