Married by proxy to a European prince she doesn't love, the princess Sierra will not believe her husband diet in far-off America - and crosses an ocean to discover the truth. But the determined royal lady will need a scout in this wild new land, and she must put her mission and her life in the hands of High Wolf, the proud Cheyenne brave she once loved with all her heart... and should rightly have wed.

Years earlier High Wolf learned much as guest in a European court - until a woman's treachery sent him home with his spirit sore but unbroken. Now the regal beauty who deceived him has come to ask for help and his desire is enflamed anew. Honor demands that he lead the princess on her journey. But every moment in her company is rekindling a passion that must not be. And surrendering to a forbidden love could be the gravest peril that lies before them.
