Slade Ironbow was big, dark, and dangerous, a man any woman would want and the one rancher Becca Colten found impossible to resist! Nobody could tame the rugged half-Apache with the devil's eyes, but when honor and a secret promise brought him to the Bonnie Blue ranch as her new foreman, Becca couldn't send him away. She needed his help to keep from losing her ranch to the man she suspected had murdered her father, but stubborn pride made her fight the mysterious loner whose body left her breathless and whose touch made her burn with needs she'd never understood.

Slade was drawn to Becca's fire and fury, but hated losing control in the seductive duel their hearts waged. She and her beautiful land called his name as the wind once had, but he'd never believed any woman could claim him until the delectable hellcat made him long to bridge his two worlds. Could Becca help him find a home in her arms, once her mother's legacy of love was finally theirs to cherish?
