Bull Mason has
built a life far away from his service in the Union Army and the ravages of the
Civil War. He’s achieved his dreams—loyal friends, work he enjoys, a home of
his own, and a promise from the woman he loves to become his wife.
Lydia Rinehart
can’t believe how much her life has changed. Escaping captivity from a Crow
village, she finds refuge and a home at the sprawling Redemption’s Edge
ranch…and love in the arms of Bull Mason, the ranch foreman. For the first time
since her parents’ death, she feels cherished and safe.
In an instant their dreams are crushed…
Bull is resolute in his determination to track down and
rescue Lydia’s brother, kidnapped during the celebration of their friend’s
wedding. He’s made a promise—one he intends to keep. Picking the best men, they
are ready to ride, until he’s given an ultimatum.
Choices can seldom be undone…
As their journey continues, the trackers become the prey,
finding their freedom and lives threatened.
And promises broken can rarely be reclaimed…
Can
Bull and Lydia trust each other again and find their way to back to the dreams
they once shared?

EXCERPT
Bull
wanted to rage at the world, shout that Lydia was his and no other man had the
right to her. Watching her disappear into the tent with White Buffalo was too
much to bear.
When he
started to push from the ground, a hand clamped across his mouth before strong
hands pulled him away from the ledge, wrestling him back to the ground. Luke
and Travis worked to control what could be a deadly situation if Bull acted on
his emotions.
As he
struggled to gain freedom from their hold on his arms, Tat and Johnny dropped
to their knees, each grabbing one of his legs, holding him still.
“We will
get her back.” Luke stared at his close friend, his gaze unwavering as hate
poured from Bull’s face. “Going in there now will only get us all killed, and
Lydia will still be with White Buffalo.”
Bull
shook his head, his body convulsing as he tried to wrench away from their
grasp.
“Dammit,
Bull. You have to get control. Besides, we have something White Buffalo
doesn’t.” A small grin pulled up the corners of Luke’s mouth when Bull’s eyes
went wide. “Now, if you’re ready to listen, we’ll let go.”
Bull
cursed, stopping his attempts to break free. The others backed away when he
stood, not knowing what to expect from a man who’d always been slow to anger
and reticent to use his fists. He turned to Luke, a look on his face none of
them had ever seen before.
“You tell
me what we have that will change any of this.” The look in his eyes was
hostile, yet pleading. He needed to hear a solution, something that would take
away the pain seizing his heart.
“There’s
nothing that will change what we just saw, but we do have a way to get her
back.” Luke watched Bull’s eyes narrow. “Unless you won’t take her back after
what you saw.”
“Hell
yes, I want her back. I don’t care what he does to her. She’ll always be mine.”
