An Indian raid made Rebecca Wallace a young widow who needed to fend for yourself and her infant daughter in the dangerous Kentucky wilderness. Though an abusive marriage had all but destroyed her trust in men, she had no choice but to accept the help of mack McGee, a handsome army scout who slowly kindled a desire she's never known . . . and a cream of happiness she thought was lost forever.

But while duty demanded that he get her as far away from this treacherous place as he could, all he truly wanted was to keep her by his side forever.
