But it was two years since the grief-stricken widower had ridden out to avenge his wife's killing, and never returned. Now, with an Apache revolt brewing, Matt was needed at home.

Yet nothing could break his strong, manly spirit and, as she nursed Matt back to health in the primitive shadows of an isolated shack, a desire stronger than anything she'd ever known raged through Serena....igniting her pent-up passion to fever pitch as his fiery kisses led her again and again to the brink of ecstasy.... Just when he was on the verge of giving up all hope - lo and behold - this radiant, blue-eyed angel of mercy had appeared to bully and bewitch him back from the brink.
