She was born in bondage... Creamy-skinned, raven-haired Zondra Poole was the daughter of a slave, living in a shack on her father's vast ranch, unable even to claim his name. She swore no man would ever own her again as she escaped to a Crow Indian village, into the chieftain's own lodge. There she found herself faced with the man who would fill her heart with new dreams and desires. But he could never know her terrible secret - or why she fled when he vowed to possess her, body and soul. But found freedom in a warrior's arms... Lone Eagle hungered for Zondra from the moment he saw her on the white man's land. She was the only woman he would ever want, forever forbidden - until she stood before him, then disappeared, stealing his stallion and his heart. He would make the defiant beauty pay. She would find no shelter but his arms, no peace until she was by his side, no freedom until she abandoned herself in his embrace and healed the wounds of the past...
