explores the lives of two young married couples, one Anglo, the other Native American, during one of the final Indian uprisings in the 19th-century Northwest. At the age of 10, Zack Myers had witnessed the brutal murder of his family by marauding Indians. Now, as a U.S. army officer assigned to Indian territory, he plans to even the score. His wife, on the other hand, doesn't share his hatred, and when she becomes seriously ill, Zack is forced to entrust her life to Nez Perce warrior Strong Runner and his bride, Morning Star.
All he lived for was vengeance...
Just a boy when he saw his family massavred, Captain Zack Myers had joined the army for one purpose only -to take revenge agains the Indians who'd destroyed his world. Even the peerless beauty of a colonel's daughter could not turn him from his obsessive quest. But his heart demanded he take her with him to the far-flung Wyoming Territory...where soon he'd find himself surrounded by danger, threatened by enemies, and confronted by an Indian warrior whose dignity and valor would challenge his every belief.
Until he met a woman determined to teach him to love...
From the moment she saw the strikingly handsome officer waiting for her on the dock, Iris Gray knew she'd found the man she was destined to love:one who deep down was good and honorable, one who could offer and independent woman like her a life filled with adventure and challenge. But whil Sack sought war, she longed to bring peace to the land where the Nex Perce' people stood proud against bluecoat soldiers and plundering settlers. And as fate drew them ever westward, she prayed for the power to tame Zack's hatred for the Indians before it could consume their love-and even their lives.
