Boldly, she rescued him from renegade Indians—unwittingly, he turned her into a woman in love... In the rugged Rocky Mountains, where pioneers and Indians still bloodied the land, Rebecca preferred buckskin to lace—and a gun to a parasol. She vowed never to belong to any man ... until she met dark, city-bred Kincaid, the stranger she rescued from a band of savage Sioux. Suddenly, Rebecca was swept from her harsh world of survival into a realm of unending desire. For she had lost her heart to the handsome Kincaid. Now she must win the love of the most elusive, the most mysterious man she has ever known.
