Handsome cattle rancher, Brett Morrison, found lovely Carrie Reynolds hiding in the back of a smoldering wagon, the sole survivor of a terrible massacre. Fate and desperation forced them together on that stormy night, forging a bond that would withstand the dangers of a mountainous climb to the bustling city of Denver, the claws and talons of a jealous vixen and the ever watchful eyes of a determined Sioux warrior.

In the Rocky Mountains, Carrie believes she's finally found peace, but her past soon catches up with her and her young son. One man will stop at nothing to use Carrie as a pawn for his own gain, including deceit, kidnapping — and even murder.
