Series
A captive, the warrior who spared her, and a war neither of them started.
A sweeping frontier romance across five books. Forbidden love over enemy lines, a hunger that outlasts a war, and a woman who keeps choosing the harder side of it. Explicit, slow-burning, and unapologetic.
She crossed a continent for a new life. She buried it on the plains.
When the smoke clears, Nora Callahan's husband is dead, her wagon is ash, and she is walked north on a line — by the one warrior who looked at her across the killing ground and chose not to let her die. She should hate him. Then, one moonless night, she is handed the chance to go home. She doesn't take it.
He waited a year and a war to make her his wife. Now the whole world is coming to take her back.
In a hidden river valley, Nora is no longer a captive but a chosen woman — courted in the open, joined before the whole band. But the good days are a held breath. A cavalry column is grinding up the river country, and inside the camp a rival's poison is turning frightened hearts against her.
She chose him, and the whole army has come to save her from that choice.
The valley is ash. Major Elias Crane does not rage, does not tire, and does not turn back. Nora is of the band now — in blood, by law, and by every choice she would make again — and she is carrying her warrior's child. Her time is coming due at the exact hour the trap closes.
