The bastard son of an English viscount and a Cheyenne shaman's daughter, Wolfe Lone tree reluctantly agrees to rescue beautiful, pampered Lady Jessica Chateris from an unwanted arranged union. . .if she agrees to accompany him to America to live as a frontier wife

Married in name only-naive and unprepared for the hardships that await her-Jessica's terror of the untamed West pales before her determination to be free of any man's embrace and her fear of the rugged, virile stranger who leaves her breathless with a passion she has never before known. In the harsh, magnificent land at the edge of the Rockies, she must find the extraordinary strength to endure-and learn the sensuous joy of becoming a woman in Wolfe Lonetree's powerful arms.
