HIS MEMORIES OF HER WERE SO CLEAR THAT HE MIGHT HAVE SEEN HER ONLY YESTERDAY. WITH THE MEMORIES CAME TEARS, WHICH HE SHED WITH NO SHAME BUT MUCH REGRET. Years ago, Amy Masters escaped the fury of the Texas plains for a new life as a teacher in the golden hills of Oregon, where she has found contentment --- if not happiness. Then, out of the shadows, comes Swift Antelope, the Comanche warrior to whom she once pledged her heart when she was no more than a girl. Claiming that he has given up his violent ways as a gunslinger, Swift has arrived to take the woman he feels is rightfully his --- the woman who once swore to honor a sacred and unbreakable pact. But Amy's brutal past has made it impossible for her to trust any man --- even if it's the bold warrior who has haunted her dreams, the only man she ever loved, the Comanche heart she can't live without.
