Apache heartbeat

by Judith Steel

On the way to meet her fiance, a Cavalry Captain at Fort Apache, Arizona Territory, Hillary Collier's stage is attacked by Apaches. Though she fights valiantly for her freedom, she is taken captive. When she looks into the face of the fierce warrior, she is shocked. The Indian looks exactly like her fiance. White Fox hears the woman whisper a name as she collapses. Holding back his warriors from taking their revenge against this passenger, too, he whisks her deep into the Tonto Basin, determined to discover why the name she uttered so often surfaces in his nightmares.
