In the borderlands of 1770 West Virginia there is no place for finer feelings. Charged with keeping the peace with local tribes, a hero of the French and Indian War is determined to stay free of romantic entanglement--until he meets a frontier maiden who just might be able to change his mindWestern Virginia, 1770. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, Tessa Swan is a force to be reckoned with. Raised by Lenape Indians, Clay Tygart returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself. Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand is forced. -- adapted from back cover
