Overview

Orphaned at thirteen, a mail ' order bride at fourteen, widowed at sixteen, Sarah Kennedy has learned to depend upon no one but herself ' reserving all her love for her younger brother Conner, and for the wounded hawks she heals and returns to the air.

A hardened Civil War veteran, personal tragedy has taught Case Maxwell three things: to be a patient, deadly fighter, to love nothing that can die; and that justice is blind. But when a confrontation with his sworn enemies, the Culpepper clan, leaves him near death, Case finds himself, like many another damaged wild creature, under the tender, unwanted care of Sarah Kennedy.

Destiny has brought the healer and the warrior together to brave chilling risks and dangerous truths in a hard, magnificent land ' two souls haunted by a perilous present and the bitter ghosts of the past. But the intense emotion both Case and Sarah fear ' the passion that burns like fire in the very heart of winter ' is the only thing that can truly save them, as together they seek the courage to face the greatest risk of all: love.

Orphaned at thirteen, a mail ' order bride at fourteen, widowed at sixteen, Sarah Kennedy has learned to depend upon no one but herself ' reserving all her love for her younger brother Conner, and for the wounded hawks she heals and returns to the air.

Excerpt from: Winter Fire by Elizabeth Lowell

Winter 1868 Utah Territory

"Don't move. Don't even breathe."

The man's low, emotionless voice was enough to freeze Sarah Kennedy in place. But even if his voice hadn't stilled her, the rest of him would have.

Moving and breathing just weren't possible.

Sarah was stretched out full-length on her stomach, pinned to cold slickrock at the edge of a drop-off, flattened beneath a stranger's overwhelming weight. The man covered her from head to heels.

Lord, but that's a lot of man, she thought fearfully. Not fat. Just big.

Too big.

Even if the stranger gave her an opening, she wouldn't have a chance in a fight against him. Despite his size, he was quick and quiet as a hawk.

Sarah had never even suspected that she was no longer alone beneath the stone overhang of the shallow cave.

The stranger's body was as hard as the cold rock that was squashing her breasts and gouging her hipbones even through her winter clothing. The man's leather-gloved right hand was across her mouth with a grip that meant to stay there no matter how she twisted or tried to bite him.

She didn't waste her strength in useless fighting. An unhappy marriage had taught her that even a young, healthy girl didn't have much chance against an old man her own size and weight.

The man pinning her down right now was neither old nor her size and weight.

And that wasn't the worst of it.

Despite the dry winter chill, the stranger's left hand was bare. It held a six-gun that looked entirely too well used.

As though Sarah's captor understood that she wasn't going to fight him, his grip eased enough for her to breathe.

But not enough for her to cry out.

"I won't hurt you," the man said very quietly against her ear.

Like hell you won't, she thought. That's all most men are good for. Hurting women.

Silently she swallowed against the fear and nausea roiling in her stomach.
