The story that began with Where the Wild Wind Blows continues. Struggling to come to terms with a heartbreaking loss, trader's daughter Katie McCabe and Lakota warrior Black Moon are plunged into a turbulent set of circumstances when the peace of the Powder River country is shattered and a new threat rises to test the strength of their love.
Born and raised n Sioux country, Katie McCabe, daughter of an Indian trader, found herself alone when her family was killed in battle between the Army and the Indians. Rescued by Black moon, a fierce Oglala warrior, and brought to live among his people, the love that ignited between these two wild hearts was tested by treachery, abduction, and the tensions that erupted over the Great Plains during the tumultuous 1850s, in Where The Wild Wind Blows, Book 1 of the Wild Wind Series.
Now their story continues...
Struggling to come to terms with a heartbreaking loss, Katie and Black Moon are plunged into a turbulent set of circumstances when the peace of the Powder River coutnry is shattered by a brutal attack on a peaceful Cheyenne village. A new threat rises, testing the strength of their love, and challenging Black Moon's vow that nothing would ever come between them again.
But broken vows, like broken hearts, are as certain as the Winter Wind.
Excerpt
Katie did not feel the cold as she ran to the lodge. Her heart jumped into her throat at the sound of a familiar deep voice biding her to enter. Flinging the flap aside, she rushed inside, and stopped. For an endless moment all she could do was look at him, feeding her starved heart with the sight of him.
She could scarcely breathe. Seized by a wild yearning to touch him, to run her hands over the familiar flesh and twine her fingers in his long, dark hair, all she could do was stand there and breathe in the essence of him from across the fire.
A movement from a corner of the lodge caught her attention. A young woman was sitting there with Black Moon's shirt in her lap. Rising, she came to stand beside him, placing a possessive hand on his arm.
The blood drained from Katie's face as sudden comprehension split her brain. Black Moon was living with another woman. Anguish ripped through her, and the joy that flooded her upon seeing him vanished like smoke from a dying fire.
He took a step toward her, a half-smile on his handsome face. Reaching out, he caught her hand in his. "Katie."
The sound of her name forced a tortured groan from her. Tearing her hand away, shaking with sorrow, fury, grief, and betrayal all at once, there was nothing to do but leave as quickly as she could. Stumbling to the entrance, she jerked the flap aside and ran out.
Black Moon's voice carried out into the frozen air behind her. "Katie! Do not run from me!"
She ran to her pony and jumped astride its back. With a savage kick, she took off at a gallop, not knowing where she was running to, only what she was running from.
