To the wild green hills of Idaho came lovely Hannah McGuire. Teaching in her father's missionary school, flame-haired Hannah braved the lawless frontier with a prayer on her lips. Leering men and scream-bullets could not dim her faith; distant drums and flaming arrows would not destroy her courage. Yet the muscular, square-jawed stranger who rescued Hannah from a Blackfoot raid posed the greatest threat of all: when she saw him her pulse hammered like thunder, and when he drew near, a storm raged in her heart. But Creed Bratton was a hard-bitten bounty hunter who had no use for the finer virtues. Hot on the trail of three vicious outlaws, the last thing he needed was to be saddled with a Bible-thumping schoolmarm, no matter how beautiful or brave. Still, only he could lead her to safety. And together, they would blaze a dangerous trail through a savage wilderness, each fighting desire--desperately denying the hunger that demanded total surrender.
