"A flawlessly written historical romance jam-packed with action... Angelica Hart's storytelling is second to none." - Readers Favorite

In a savage world, only the brave can save her...

Harriet Palmer has lost all. Captured by evil men in the dead of night, her family murdered before her eyes, she has become little more than a slave. But when she manages to escape, she runs as though her life depends on it - for indeed it does.

Pursued by the same men who have kept her hostage, wounded and near to death, she encounters a man who will teach her what it is to trust, to learn, to love.

At first she sees him only as a savage, a man who lives in the wild and is more than a little wild himself. But soon Harriet learns how much more he is. Mohe is a Cherokee. A man who has lived among the forests and open spaces of his people, but who also knows the world of the white man.

When he finds Harriet wounded, he knows nothing of her - only that she is hurt, and that he must protect her from whatever evils have come into her life. As he nurses her to health, though, he comes to know Harriet. To love her strength. To love her kindness. To love her.

But the men who came for Harriet once are still on her trail. Led by a man who knows only hatred and blood lust, they will never stop until they find her. Until they take her back, and kill any who dare to help her.

Can Harriet escape them long enough to find help? Can her protector stand against the men who follow her?

Harriet does not know. But she knows that, for any chance at life and love, she must trust herself only to the brave...
