Zach McCallister is a soldier who may have married mainly
to please his ailing father and to provide an heir, but he
still did his best to make his marriage work.
Unfortunately, even the birth of a son did nothing to
strengthen the marriage and soon they were estranged.
While away, Zach is summoned home and learns that as his
wife was running away with another man and taking their
son, Luke, with her, they were attacked by Cheyenne and his
wife was killed. His son was kidnapped. Nothing will stop
Zach in his quest to find his son, and he knows the perfect
person to help him -- Caroline Whitley.
Caroline, once captured by the Kiowa then bought by the
chief of the Cheyenne and rumored to be taken as his wife,
is gathering food and medicine to deliver to the
reservation. But she can't do it alone and she accepts
Zach's offer of help. As they travel toward a rendezvous
with the Cheyenne who've now fled the reservation, Zach is
astonished by Caroline's spirit and courage. She faces her
past and present with a determined resolve that he can't
help but admire. Caroline has a long way to go before she
can, if ever, offer herself body and soul to man. But for
the first time in her life, she's tempted to trust the
kindness she sees in Zach. In the past, both Zach and
Caroline have been subjected to the darkness of lost
dreams, but can they find a way to put it all behind them
and walk together in the warm light of love?
Kate Lyon has mastered the art of creating a
superior character-driven novel. Not only are the hero and
heroine bold and commanding, but secondary characters are
just as well-developed, then woven in to add just what's
needed to reinforce both the emotion and rhythm of the
story. Readers will be swept along by the passion and vivid
historical detail. The perfect choice for anyone who loves
a great historical romance that stays with you long after
you've turned the last page.
Zach McCallister is a man on a mission. His son has been
kidnapped by the Cheyenne, and he vows to find the boy.
All he needs is someone to get him into the Cheyenne camp.
And Caroline Whitley seems to be the answer to his
prayers. She needs Zach to help deliver medicine to the
people, but after long nights on the trail, Zach finds
himself hopelessly mesmerized by the inner strength of the
determined beauty.
Caroline trusts only one man in her life: Little Wolf, the
brave Cheyenne chief who had saved her from an abusive
Kiowa captor. One man, that is, until she meets Zach. His
very presence calms her fears, and his gray eyes reassure
her that he is a man of his word. But until Caroline finds
the courage to open her heart and tell him the truth, she
will remain…hope’s captive.
