Childhood sweethearts Leah Starr and Johnny Whitehorse had nothing in common. She was a senator's daughter. He was the grandson of an Apache medicine man and the local "bad boy." But their passion made the rest of the world seem unimportant until a cruel deception forced them apart. Years later, Leah has returned to her hometown, burdened with memories, familiar with struggle and hard work. But when she sees Johnny again, her strength is tested. Now one of the most powerful men in the country, Johnny has also returned home. His mission is to bring Leah's power-hungry father down in the dust. When their love becomes too strong to ignore, both must make the ultimate choice, between the obligations of duty—and of the heart.

"Easy, interesting read. More serious than the usual romance novel, but definitely a page-turner. I read in one day!"
— Haley (4 out of 5 stars)
" Entirely predictable and more than absurd. "
— Gianthogweed, 2/5/2009" Beautiful story. :-) "
— Sarita, 11/3/2007" I listened to this a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. "
— Kathryn, 3/6/2006" This one just didn't work for me. I didn't really connect with the characters and never felt like they genuinly cared for each other. Whitehorse came off as a selfish prick most of the book. I had to force myself to finish it and on top of that the ending sucked! "
