The Lone Warrior

Once Upon a Time . . . Love Healed More Than a Broken Heart

After years spent in a Union prison, Luke Phelan goes West to fight the Indians. He soon realizes he can't stomach the slaughter of innocents and agrees to be traded to the Cheyenne in exchange for hostages.

By the time Rose Varner finds him, years later in the Smoky Hills of Kansas, Luke no longer knows if he is a hero, a traitor, a soldier, a warrior, a ghost or a lunatic.

Rose has gone everywhere, bribed everyone, tried everything in her attempts to retrieve her kidnapped daughter from the Cheyenne. Luke, who lived among them and became one of them, is her last chance.

But tragedy and heartache drove Luke from his adopted people and he swore never to go back. However, Rose's bravery, her tenacity and fierce devotion against all odds changes his mind.

He rescues her; she rescues him; they rescue each other . . . in every way it is possible to be rescued. Because courage matters. And love?

Love matters even more.
