Torn between devotion and a secret yearning for adventure
and fulfillment, Mary Frances Dennehy makes her choice.
Shocking her family, she leaves the convent and her
cloistered existence behind and sets out in search of a
new life. But for a woman alone, the West can be a hostile
and treacherous place. And no one is more dangerous—and
irresistible—than Ryder McKay.
Faithful to the Apaches who raised him, now sentenced to

enough to seize one last chance for freedom. Taking Mary
Dennehy hostage, the army scout plots his daring escape
into the mountains only to find himself with a woman he

breathtaking bid for freedom becomes a journey into
forbidden passion that will test two lovers’ faith and
challenge their hearts
