A boy stolen by war. A girl running from the past. When their paths cross on the edge of the frontier, love becomes the only thing worth fighting for.

A stolen childhood. A hidden past. A love strong enough to challenge them both.

Ethan Moretti was just six when his family was slaughtered on the Nebraska frontier. Taken by a Lakota war party and raised as a nameless outsider, he survived through grit, silence, and submission. At seventeen, a final act of cruelty pushes him to escape the only world he's known. Scarred, half-starved, and hunted by those who once called him theirs, Ethan stumbles into the ruins of his past -- and into the life of a young woman with secrets of her own.

Betty Moreland fled Virginia to escape a man who refused to let her go -- and the law he turned against her. Now living a quiet life on a rural homestead her peace is shattered when she finds a strange, wild-eyed youth stealing water from the barn. She should fear him. She doesn't. Instead, she sees something broken -- and fiercely alive.

But Ethan's former captors are closing in. And Betty's past is about to catch up, led by a man who will stop at nothing to claim what he believes is his.
