Historical | Romance Historical

Wynter McCain was born into a life of wealth and luxury in North Carolina, although her childhood was plagued with tragedy. In her adolescence, she sneaks into the attic one day, only to stumble across her mother's diary. She soon discovers that she was a twin at birth, and her mother's desolate words reveal that her sister was stillborn. Or was she? Wynter has always been a young woman ahead of her time, and at eighteen, convinces her father to allow her a year-long visit her aunt and uncle in Minnesota at their ranch, Full Circle. Soon after arriving, she meets the dashing and wild Dax Oliver, and his kind and handsome brother Cord.

When Civil War breaks out, Dax enlists with his younger brother, Fenn, and they soon find themselves amidst the bloodiest of battles fought in the deep south. How was he to know when he left home that the brown-eyed beauty of his dreams was with child---his child? Realizing that even on the plains of Minnesota, unwed mothers are considered a terrible breech of social propriety, Wynter accepts an offer of marriage from Cord. When Fenn is killed in battle, and Dax is wounded, the army gives him an honorable discharge and sends him home. There was no way he could have prepared himself for what he found once he arrived. Not only has the woman he loves married his brother, but the entire county is caught up in a bloody war with the Dakota Indians. Half of his family has been slaughtered during the uprising, his brother Cord is missing, and Wynter has been kidnapped by the Indians and sold to French traders.

There is only one man who can help bring Wynter back, an Indian tracker by the name of Wa-na-pay-a. How was Dax to know that the tracker is married to a woman who is the spitting image of Wynter!
