Fire on the Prairie (Western Fire #1)
Kate Wingo
Hell-bent on revenge, Spencer isn’t about to let anyone stop him from hunting the northern jayhawker who killed his father and two brothers. Realizing that Mercy is the perfect bait for capturing his prey, he forcibly takes her to the bushwhacker stronghold. But as Spencer and Mercy make their way across the Missouri frontier, danger and treachery follow in their wake; even as an explosive passion ignites between them.
In a land ravaged by war, where honor has lost all meaning, it takes a brave man to put down his gun, and a courageous woman to forgive her enemy. A boldly sensual western, Fire on the Prairie is full of sweeping action, vibrant historical detail and complex, richly-drawn characters; and it is the first book in a multi-generational family saga that spans the breadth of the untamed western frontier.
