Rising Wind (Wind #7)

Last of the Duncans

Leaving behind the Highlands for the New World at the tender age of ten, Connor Duncan learned quickly that only the fit and the fortunate survive. As a scout and an expert marksman he is both...and a man to be reckoned with. But what is a rough-hewn frontiersman like him to do with a sheltered beauty like the governor's niece?

There seems to be no way to avoid the "Virgin Widow" when she insists on accompanying him on a mission through the wilderness to Fort Savannah. Neither capture, nor torture, nor the violent birth pangs of a young nation can keep them apart or stop the founding of a brand new dynasty of Duncans. Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
