Mary O'Brien was only ten when her family was murdered by a band of renegade Indians, but she was not so lucky. Captured as their slave, she suffered at their hands for four long years until they finally traded her to the generous and kind Mountain Utes. Treated like family, she spends the next fourteen years with these kind and generous people. But when she can no longer hide, once again her world is taken from her. This time, she'd rather die than leave it. Doc Howard has spent nearly his entire life hiding a secret his father made him promise never to tell for it would be a secret that would ruin his life-even put his life in danger. And for the last twenty-three years, he's managed to keep that promise. But when he stumbles upon a beautiful red-haired woman with remarkable courage, he learns that a man must take a stand or his choices will no longer be his to make. What will it take to save these two lost souls and give them hope for the future?
