Courtney Harte gasped in disbelief. There, in a Texas newspaper, was aphotograph of her beloved father... thought slain several years back in asavage Comanche massacre. The honey-haired beauty vowed to find him ? butwhom could she trust to accompany her through wild, dangerous Indianterritory? His name was Chandos. Tall and dark, with eyes the most startlingshade of blue, he was the best gunslinger around. Courtney put her faith inhim... little dreaming of the dark secret that burned in Chandos's soul...little imagining the fires that would ignite under the hot summer sun,driving them together in an ecstatic frenzy that only passion understood...and love could tame.
