About This Book

A frontier adventure traces a young settler woman, Vinnie, and Emmett Darke through storms, accidents, and captivity in a rugged northwestern forest. After a dangerous fall he awakens in a hidden cave cared for by strangers, while she faces imprisonment, plots a stratagem, and endures pursuit. Mysterious sightings of a phantom rider and the looming presence of a towering chief propel a thread of vengeance and inquiry among rival parties. The narrative unfolds through rescues, revelations about the chief’s fate, and reconciliations that settle both romantic and retaliatory tensions.
