About the Book

This epic journey is his last chance to start a new life. After being cast out of his Blackfoot village for his kindness to the Nez Perce captives, Chogan travels west in search of meaning for his life. Meaning that doesn't require killing or torturing innocent people. Though the lovely face of Telâipe, a Nez Perce woman, is imprinted on his heart, he avoids her village. She deserves a happy life with her husband and coming child. With her husband dead and the birth of her babe imminent, Telâipe's reality looks nothing like she planned. She's been forced to return to the village where she grew up and the chaos of her family's lodge--with all her boisterous younger brothers. She desperately desires to start a new life for herself and the babe growing within her, but she can't seem to climb above the mire of her past. When she stumbles into the brave who'd shown her kindness during her captivity, something ignites within her--a new hope. Chogan's determination to stay and help Telâipe is thwarted by her people's fear and hatred for his tribe--especially since he was among last winter's kidnappers. It doesn't matter that he did everything he could to keep her and her unborn child safe and comfortable during that awful event. But as a new predator threatens the safety of the village, Chogan determines to take down the massive wildcat that's already injured several children--including one of Telâipe's younger brothers. When the danger escalates, Chogan is faced with an impossible choice. No matter which option he chooses, his life will never be the same--nor that of the woman he's come to love. From a USA Today bestselling author comes another epic journey through breathless landscapes and adventure so intense, lives will never be the same.

Book Synopsis

This epic journey is his only chance to redeem his mistakes.

Chogan should've seen it coming when his tribe cast him out. He may look like a Blackfoot brave, but he refuses to act like one ever again-especially when it means kidnapping or killing innocent people. His protective actions toward Nez Perce captives proved that. Yet the pain of having nowhere to belong strikes deeper than he imagined. Worse, there's one particular Nez Perce woman's face he can't get out of his mind...or heart. How can he make amends for the sins of his past?

If Telípe thought all would be well after her rescue from kidnappers, she couldn't have been more wrong. With her husband now dead and the birth of their first baby imminent, she's forced to seek shelter in the chaotic, overcrowded lodge of her youth. The solitude she finds only in the wilderness outside the village becomes a haven...until she comes face to face with the Blackfoot brave who once helped kidnap her. Yet even in her terror, she senses a spark of something unexpected-hope.

But Chogan isn't the only threat to her village. With a massive wildcat stalking her people, Telipe must decide whether to trust Chogan's help. He proved his compassion and bravery when he'd kept her safe during her kidnapping, and her regard grows as she sees his determination to help her tribe-the very people who want him dead. As the wildcat closes in, one thing is clear: someone is going to be hurt-or killed-and it may cost Telipe and Chogan everything.
