Stranded in a woman-starved fort in the middle of nowhere, Ivy Sinclair has no choice but to accept an offer from Standing Bear, the Mohawk warrior who has promised to take her home. With an inheritance to claim, she will risk her life in the hands of one of the most dangerous warriors in the region. Little does she know Bear will prove to be everything she has ever dreamed of.
Standing Bear never planned on taking the white woman home, but after she frees him from the fort prison, he has no choice but to repay the debt. Ivy surprises him at every turn. Strong, loyal, courageous, he has no idea how he will ever keep his promise. Letting her go would mean losing the greatest thing that has ever happened to him. Perhaps if he keeps her against her will, she will learn to love him.
Mercy Whitstone lost a child and a husband. She’ll never go through that hurt again--especially with a Mohawk warrior who kidnaps her and demands she become his everything. War is coming. Women and children are being starved and attacked while their men fight for their country. Mercy has every intention to take her grievances to Albany--not to fall in love with the most stubborn, rudest man she has ever met.
