Melissa Sheffield was trapped in a nightmare. On the journey to meet her finance in Santa Fe, she was captured by Apaches and given to a man known as Cougar.

He was raised by the Apaches, she is captured by them and given to him as a slave. He feels he is unworthy of love since his father abused him and his mother abandoned him. She must break through his hard heart and teach him to love.
Great story. Ronda Thompson doesn't disappoint. She weaves a great love story between the hero (Cougar/Clay) and heroine (Melissa/Huera) who are thrust into what some may see as a no win situation. The story flows well and is a real page turner. I gave the book 4.5 stars only because I wanted more in the epilogue.
