Meg Carver knows what it is to be cornered, sold, and traded by men who think paper gives them the right to own her. When her indenture is unexpectedly transferred to Muata—a Susquehannock-born and Lenape-raised warrior with the scars to prove his violence and the silence to make her wary—she assumes only another form of captivity.
What she does not expect is how she is drawn to him. Muata is hard, formidable, and merciless toward anyone who threatens his way of life. He tells himself the stubborn Frenchwoman in his care is nothing more than a burden to carry until the debt between them is settled. He has survived much worse than inconvenience.
But the harshness of a frontier winter has a way of stripping away both convention and judgment. And the more closely Meg sees the man beneath Muata’s ruthless reputation, the more impossible it becomes to fear him in the ways she should.
Snowbound roads. A tiny room. One bed much too close to ignore. And a slow-burning hunger that turns ruthless once it catches fire. But love on the frontier has a steep price, and both are hunted by the past. To belong to each other may mean losing everything. To walk away may cost even more.
