As a small child, White Fawn was adopted into Comanche chief Eagle Feather's family, replacing the daughter he lost to a white man's bullet. Although she's white, she's accepted and soon will take a husband. But while on a raid, her intended, One Bear, is killed. White Fawn would have died if not for Eagle Feather's amulet and being mistaken for a boy. Now she needs to find her way back to her family.

After Indians killed his family, Matthew Conway became a Ranger. For years he hunted and killed Indians, until he lost interest and went back to his family's ranch. After meeting up with some men who killed a raiding party, Matthew just can't let them scalp the young boy. Matthew vows to return and bury him, but when he comes back, the boy is gone. Matthew puts his old tracking skills to work to find the boy before harm can come to him or someone else.

Matthew finally locates the boy and is surprised when he discovers the child is actually a white girl and she's not as young as he thought. Not knowing what to do with her, he drags her to his ranch and locks her in a room. Taking her to an orphanage seems like the logical thing to do, but Matthew can't seem to get the deed done, especially since he's so attracted to her.

At first, White Fawn hates Matthew, but that feeling is soon replaced with a very strong attraction. Knowing she can never fit in the white man's world again, she bides her time until she can get away. Unintentionally, Matthew lets lust for White Fawn go too far. She accepts his advances, and he's gifted with more than just his body's satisfaction. When Matthew is called away to help deal with another raiding party, White Fawn takes the opportunity to flee.

Returning and finding that she's gone, Matthew vows to locate her and bring her home. White Fawn knows that because of the love she feels for Matthew, she will never take another man to her blankets. When Eagle Feathers comes up with a plan, both Matthew and White Fawn are surprised at the outcome.

This is an excellent story, grabbing your attention and making it hard to put down. Both White Fawn and Matthew are stubborn as mules and fight their feelings to the very end.
