About The Wildest Heart

No man can own 21 year old Rowena Dangerfield--a sensuous, strong-willed English lady with a fiery, unchained spirit--though many desire her. She had come to claim her birthright, following her destiny to the sprawling New Mexican frontier...and to the only man who can tame her restless heart. A handsome half-Apache branded an outlaw--a rebel and renegade feared throughout the territories--Lucas Cord's body and soul cry out for the beautiful, headstrong stranger who has burst into his world. And neither peril nor the treachery of desperate men will prevent him from taking what he wants...or restrain a rampaging passion as wild and hot as ***The Wildest Heart***
