The Revolutionary War left Captain Sam Wyllie battle-hardened. His only fear was love. His courageous but cold heart defies danger--and love. He is determined to make a fresh start with his brothers in the far West, the new state of Kentucky.
Newly widowed on the Wilderness Trail, Catherine Adams' only fear was living without love. She knows she should return to her wealthy father in Boston but she fears he will once again force her to marry for prestige and wealth, not love. Drawn to Sam's keen intelligence, harsh masculinity, and rugged warrior facade, she decides the west holds a chance for real love.
But dark forces-a ruthless enemy and a secret sorrow from Sam's past-conspire against them. Harboring her own secrets, Catherine resolves to help this brave buckskin-clad warrior lay down his heart's armor. Despite the undeniable attraction between them, Sam refuses to risk his heart again. Catherine won't give up, believing he could be as passionate about love as he is about his country and family.
This heart jolting historical western romance blends high action, heroism, and humor with a love and passion as powerful and beautiful as the wilderness.

Captain Sam Wyllie looked ahead, anxious to catch his first glimpse of the remote Fort. His back and his legs ached from months on the trail. Ignoring his fatigue, he kept a keen eye on the surrounding rugged forest and made himself sit up straighter in the saddle. As if complaining, the saddle leather creaked beneath his weight even more than normal. Even the saddle had had enough. It wouldn’t be long now. They were nearly there.
Maybe here, at the edge of a vast wilderness, he could forget. He wanted a new life in a new place, away from the pain of his violent past. Surely, he could find it here—a thousand miles from his New Hampshire home. A place on the edge of the future—Kentucky.
A new world for the brave.
Their small group had been fortunate, at least for the last few days. Boone’s Trace, a branch of the Wilderness Road, leading to the Kentucky River, brought them, at long last, close to Fort Boonesborough. As they passed lush blue-green meadows, rising and falling hills, and ancient verdant forests, they saw no signs of native Indians on the last leg of their long journey. And lately, the weather chose to be mercifully mild. Perhaps God knew they had all endured enough. He and his brothers William, John, and adopted brother Bear, accompanied his youngest brother Stephen and his wife Jane, and their daughters, on the trip here. Along the way, misfortune brought first the widow Catherine and later the young woman Kelly into their group as well.
Sometimes tragedy gives birth to new beginnings.
He pressed his legs against Alex’s flanks, urging the big horse forward. The gelding picked up his trot and Sam led them all to the edge of the settlement.
