In this historical western romance by the author of Swan Bride, a Boston firebrand and a hard-riding scout discover a passion the defies the wild frontier.
In the years after the Civil War, Miss India Simms leaves the comforts of Boston to preach women’s rights throughout the Wyoming Territory. The raw town of Cheyenne is a shock to the petite aristocrat and so is her guide, Gat Ransom. His rough-hewn appearance and quick, good-natured smile embodied the contradictions of the West. But his scarred, taut power set disturbing, unfamiliar feelings pounding through India’s veins.
India and Ransom ride the sweeping plains and towering forests, sharing a deep need for freedom and a sensuous promise. Only when they cast off their stubborn pride would they know the bliss of pure surrender and the fiery love that burns between them.
