Romance Historical

Nathan Chasing Elk has spent over four years in Yuma Prison for a crime he did not commit. But he's never lost hope of avenging his wife's murder and reclaiming the daughter he so dearly loves and misses. Nathan's plan is to escape and that's exactly what he does, but not without a price. Catharine Lyons finds Nathan on her property, very near death. Her parents' untimely demise left her alone in this wild country, struggling to survive. She's very apprehensive about this half-breed in prison garb, but takes him in and gives him sanctuary. Time heals and as they spend days together, Nathan reveals a kind and gentle nature, a tenderness Catharine has always longed for. She offers Nathan a second chance at love, a chance he never dreamed possible. They search and finally locate Nathan's daughter in an orphanage, and the three of them journey deep into Lakota territory to find Nathan's mother. He's also getting closer to avenging his wife's death, but the law is never very far behind. Nathan and Catharine find a passion as wild and untamed as the West and a love that will change their lives forever. It's only justice and freedom from the law that will allow them the peace they deserve and a lifetime of happiness. DAKOTA DREAMS is warm and wonderful, another Madeline Baker treasure. Take this wonderful journey as she captures the essence of the American West along with capturing our hearts. Don't miss this one!
