When a priceless Andalusian stallion is stolen by horse thieves who have no notion what they’ve stolen, rancher Calder Metairie and ex-mercenary captain Emeric von Gondrecourt must take to the wilds of New Mexico, cutting a trail through almost virgin-territory, to track down the horse and return him to his place. But Calder and Emeric share a personal history that both drew them together and sets them apart. Danger and the long, shared hours on the trail bring their differences to simmering point. History is against them – but anything is possible, when you have a daring, devoted heart.
