A Cherokee lieutenant, a colonel’s daughter, and a desperate fight to protect both land and love.
Sam Hicks may be the educated son of a Cherokee chief, but his command of multiple languages and diplomatic skills can’t erase the prejudice he faces as a mixed-blood warrior. When he’s tasked with guarding Colonel Moore’s spirited daughter, Susanna, at a wilderness fort, he never expects to lose his heart to a woman he can never have. Susanna Moore dreams of making her own way on the frontier like her Cherokee stepmother. The last thing she wants is an arranged marriage to the fort’s stuffy doctor—especially after she meets the noble and intelligent Sam Hicks. When she’s captured by a turncoat warrior during a Creek uprising, Sam risks everything to save her. Their shared values and growing love give them hope—but with the Creek War raging and cultural pressures mounting, can a Cherokee lieutenant and a colonel’s daughter overcome the loyalties and prejudices set against them? |

A missing father. A deadly storm. And a stranger who may be more dangerous than the wilderness.
Kentucky Territory, 1785 Roisin Duncan has spent her life guarding secrets—her father's failing mind, her own quiet eccentricities, and the fear that one misstep could see them both locked away like the aunt she lost. But when her father disappears into the wilderness caves he loves, Roisin has no choice but to venture beyond the safety of her carefully controlled world. Caught in a brutal snowstorm, she finds refuge at the cabin of Jared McFadin—a man as scarred on the outside as he is within. Haunted by war, Jared has built a life of isolation on the edge of his family's land, convinced he is more danger than protector. But when a desperate young woman arrives at his door, he cannot turn her away. As they search the treacherous caverns and race against time to find Roisin's father, the greater danger may not be the wilderness, but the fears that have kept them both imprisoned. To survive, Roisin and Jared must risk what they've guarded most—their trust, their hearts, and the fragile hope that love might be stronger than their weaknesses. Perfect for fans of Lori Wick and Janette Oke. |
