HOW LONG CAN SHE BATTLE A MAN WHO REFUSES HER LOVE?
DEATH HAS BRUTALLY TAKEN EVERY WOMAN FROM HIM.
WHICH WILL WIN—LOVE OR DEATH?
Katy Sullivan must protect her younger sisters at all cost. They've escaped the brutal hand of their step-uncle and took his greatest treasure. Fearing death if found, they travel west in a wagon train but are abandoned along with a sick preacher and his sisters. Rescue comes in the form of two buckskin-clad, tobacco-spitting brothers and their harsh, scar-faced companion. Their offer—come to their valley for the winter—could be very good or very, very bad.
Scarred within and without, Jacob Matthews sealed off his heart. He's respected by the army, honored by the Indians, and known as Takota—friend to all. He fights his feelings for the feisty red-headed woman who came to his valley. Death took every woman he's loved. Death won three times. Jacob can't let it win a fourth.
