Convinced no one will believe her after shooting a man in self-defense, Anna Alexander flees to the New Mexico Territory to make a new start. There she unwittingly saves Storme Warwick, an attractive half-breed bounty hunter, from an attacker's bullet. Declaring himself indebted to her, this captivating stranger becomes her friend-and lover. But Anna's past soon meets up with her as grave danger threatens her newfound bliss. Having grown up an outcast in the white man's world, Storme had sworn never to get involved with a white woman again...until he meets voluptuous, green-eyed Anna. He cannot help but fall under her rapturous spell, even though he senses she is hiding a dark secret. And when Anna is kidnapped, he knows he must risk everything to rescue her-and a love that is more precious than life itself.
