Grace Livingston is smart, beautiful, and extremely wealthy. When her sister Eleanor and children are captured by Comanches, Grace determines to save them. But upon her arrival in Indian Territory she quickly learns that her money and power count for little, and the only hope she has of saving her sister and the children lies with uncooperative Matthew Stone. Kidnapped by the Comanche and raised as a warrior, Matthew left the tribe to make his way in the white man's world as a rancher. Reluctant to help the Eastern woman, Matthew offers to take her with him into Comanche territory, but on his own terms. To his shock, Grace agrees. They join forces and set off on a journey that threatens their lives as they discover a love that is worth every risk of the heart, mind, and body that they face. Rich with historical detail and heroic characters, Painted Horse is truly a page-turner of a Western novel. --Lois Faye Dyer
