This story is set in the Ohio wilderness during the mid 1700's. It shows what great strength was required of a person just to survive everyday on the frontier.

From Publishers Weekly
Sexy, sensitive and resourceful frontiersman Nicholas Kenleigh, Clare's gloriously larger-than-life hero, will seduce readers as he wins the heart of young widow Elspeth Stewart. Elspeth is eight months pregnant and struggling to survive without the help of a man when a wounded Nicholas comes along and demands her aid. Smart enough not to say no to a scruffy-looking trapper with a revolver, Elspeth takes him in, tends to his wound and then ties him up for her own protection. What follows is a taut, sensual adventure during which the two protagonists find love and discover that braving the many hardships of the frontier (and the dark corners of their pasts) is best done together. Through her tight plotting and deft descriptions of the Ohio wilderness, Clare keeps the suspense level high. As her characters state often throughout, the first rule of the frontier is survival, and Clare does an excellent job of depicting the constant struggle to stay alive.

I read this book without knowing it was the third in a trilogy. A story of a pregnant widow left alone in the wilderness and the wounded stranger whose life she saved. This was a very good read. A keeper for sure.

I am not one for this type of book. I go for Regency and England/Scotland Historicals. I got this book in a box of others and read it while extremely bored one evening. I couldn't put it down. The romance is only a small aspect of this beautifully woven story. I lost the book in a move and was very depressed. I have read it more times than I can count and still go back to read it again.
