Summary

Step into a story of love, history, and unforgettable adventure, filled with breath-catching suspense, mystery, and romance..

In the wilderness of 1705 America, Bryanna Kingsbury lies over her father’s body after a vicious Iroquois attack—and her world shatters. As she stares at her palm covered with his blood, her father takes his final breath.

At that moment, Bryanna makes him a solemn promise.

She will find his attacker and kill him.

From the streets of London to the Allegheny Mountains of South Carolina, Bryanna is pulled into the world of the Cherokee, Creek, and Iroquois and her mission is clear. She must find a way to hunt down her father's murderer even if it means defying Black Bear, the powerful Cherokee Chief who rescues her and carries her, wounded and unconscious, to his town of Toxaway.

Black Bear is captivated by Bryanna's unwavering courage and undeniable charm. Despite the barriers between them, he feels an irresistible pull toward the beautiful Englishwoman who has entered his world.

But Bryanna’s heart is consumed by grief, blame, and vengeance. Holding all Indians responsible for her father’s murder, she wants nothing to do with the Cherokee Chief—or the feelings he begins to awaken within her.

As Bryanna struggles with her own inner turmoil and thirst for revenge and justice, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Amidst this wild, unforgiving land, where secrets and passions run as deep as the rivers, Bryanna must gain the strength and courage to embrace the customs of the Cherokee people, if she ever hopes of finding the peace and closure she seeks.

But the greatest challenge may be the one she never expected.

Can she surrender her broken heart to an alluring Chief whose love might be powerful enough to heal it—and to change the only life she has ever known?
