Revenge drives a Sioux warrior into a storm of danger and desire in this historical western romance from the bestselling author of Sweet Mountain Magic.
When Gabe Beaumont was forced to choose between the Sioux tribe of his mother and the white family of his father, his choice ended up costing him everything. Settlers murdered his Indian wife and child, and now revenge is all he lives for.
Riding westward with a renegade Sioux band, he becomes Tall Bear, a warrior with a wounded soul—until a raid on a Wyoming stagecoach station brings him face-to-face with a feisty, red-haired beauty who could change his life . . .
Now two independent spirits will move heaven and earth to be with each other—and to fight for love against the shadows and the danger that lurks in Gabe’s wild heart of the frontier.

Great main characters, each with painful histories. As tough as Gabe's life has been it sure seems that Faith almost has a times a tougher one. More than one man has deeply disappointed her. And her charming first husband Johnny was someone that she loved but he was full of empty promises and wild dreams. Things did not end up well for Johnny and it was just a matter of how and well as far as I could see.
There are good secondary people in the story. People who were there for Faith. Buck was one of them who consistently showed up when she needed help. I should mention here that so did Tall Bear/Gabe. Faith prayed for help and often Tall Bear showed up. A woman in the story who became important to Faith was named Hilda and they became really close. She taught Faith so much and became like her second mother.
There are plenty of "haters" out there when it comes to Gabe and his half Indian heritage.
Of course Faith also was not the average woman of her time. She had spunk, determination and a desire to succeed. The very things that her religious father tried to stamp out of her are the things that are helping her to survive. It also attracts people to her as well. Some good and some not so good. Someone else who was a surprise was Bret Flowers and she has more good in her than people originally would think. A lot of people didn't want to have anything to do with her at first.
The not so good people that I mentioned caused some pretty severe problems against Gabe and Faith but it's really good how it all gets overcome at the end. I felt like this was a really well written story about two people with wild hearts, love and grit. The story also ends giving us a good look a few years later showing us even more of how things ended and for some began again. It might not have been marked Epilogue but it was.
