A Woman Captured
Searching for her missing father, the determined Emma O'Brien set out for Fort Pierre on the Missouri River, but when the steamboat upon which she was traveling went aground, she was forced to travel on foot. Braving the wilderness, the feisty beauty was soon seized by Indians. Surrounded by enemies, Emma learned that only Striking Thunder could grant her release.
A Passion Unleashed
The handsome Sioux chieftain offered her freedom but enslaved her with a kiss. He took her to his village. There, underneath the prairie's starry skies, Emma learned the truth. The danger Striking Thunder represented was greater than the pre-war bonfires of the entire Sioux nation--and the passion he offered burned a whole lot hotter.
