The only hope to keep her newborn baby alive is to reach the safety of her Indian people… This mountain man is the last person she should trust to get her there.As a half-Indian raised among her Peigan tribe, Moriah Clark knows better than to trust white people. The tragedy that resulted in her birth is proof enough. But when her trusted grandfather marries her to a white man, she has no choice … to a white man, she has no choice but to obey and hope this new life isn’t her downfall. Her white husband turns out to be a decent sort, but his unexpected death left her to birth a newborn baby among hostile mountain men. She wants nothing more than to retreat to the safe haven of her tribal upbringing. When a mysterious frontiersman arrives on her doorstep seeking her deceased husband, his offer to escort her and the babe to her people seems like the opportunity she’s been praying to find. But can she trust him?
Samuel Grant has been sent to retrieve Henry Clark for his sister’s wedding, but the sight that greets him at the little cabin in the woods is not what he expected. Not only has the man died, but Henry’s wife is fighting off an aggressive gang of men at gunpoint—while trying to conceal a newborn. He can’t leave the pair unattended, so helping her travel into the mountain country to reach her family seems like the only option. If he can win her trust, that is.
Such a grueling journey with a three-week-old baby will be risky, but the challenges that arise test them far more than either expected. When a devastating surprise increases the danger ten-fold, Moriah focuses all her efforts on keeping her newborn daughter alive. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t realize how much of her heart belongs to the mountain man—until it’s too late.

It was a love story, but it gave a picture of Native American/white relationships in the early 1800s.
I enjoyed this book very much!
It kept me pretty interested to the end. . A bit predictable. But the characters were developed.
I really liked this book! A real page turner!!
It’s so hard to imagine the fear of being in the wilderness unless you experience it which I have not. Since that is the case, my imagination and a generous amount of the “what if’s” played a large part of enjoying this book. I know I’d be constantly watching my back if I were in the same circumstances. So nice to read a good book without the sex and violence so many others have it them. Thank you!
If you enjoy reading romance, you’d probably like this book. Because of the western setting, I decided to try reading it. After reading about half the book, I just couldn’t take the overly-emotional, overly-sensual prose.
Love this book! Love this series! If you enjoy adventure, historical time periods and lots of action and drama, this book and the entire series is for you. It is simply action-packed and wonderful. It is everything I want in a book and I will recommend it to everyone. Not one boring or “slow” moment. It’s a winner and the author writes in such a way everything makes you feel as though you are a part of the action. It totally absorbs you and you can hardly wait to see what happens and at the same time hope that the story goes on forever.
A really wonderful book!
I received an ebook copy from the author. All thoughts are my own.
