Johanna's gift of healing has proven to be a curse instead. Barely escaping from a man who would use her for personal gain, she discovers a half-dead stranger in a dark alley. She risked her safety to heal the Comanche and couldn't have been more shocked when he claimed her for his own.
Hawkeye had urgent business to attend to but would not leave the lovely Johanna behind. Although she tried to resist him he threw her over his shoulder and carried her away from civilization where he was determined they would live together among the Comanche people.
But it was a time of turmoil between the Indian Nations and the pioneers and fate intervened. Johanna found herself fleeing from the Indians as well as the man who thought to use her. But Hawkeye was determined not to lose his bride. He would follow her to the ends of the earth if necessary and he would have his beautiful Johanna in his arms again.
