I will come to you like the wind...I am your destiny.
Orphaned seven years ago after witnessing the brutal murder of her parents at the hands of the Comanche people, golden-golden haired Loretta Simpson still lives in terror that the warriors will return. Her fear is so powerful, she can no longer speak a word.
Called the U.S. Army's most cunning adversary, Hunter of the Wolf believes that Loretta is the "honey-haired woman with no voice" of ancient prophecy - the woman he must honor for all eternity. But Loretta can see Hunter only as the enemy who has stolen her, and she refuses to succumb to his control...or his touch.
Despite the hatred intensifying between their peoples, Loretta and Hunter gradually find their prejudices giving way to respect, then flaring into feelings too dangerous to express. In the midst of such conflict, it will take all the force of their extraordinary love to find a safe place...
