A dangerous man lay near death at Rose Colby's feet - and though logic told her to flee from the unpredictable half-breed, instinct whispered a different tale. Latigo was a worthy man who desperately needed her help - and her heart… ! The brave young woman made Latigo yearn for what he knew he could never have - acceptance, family… and love.

Excerpt This was a man who trusted no one. A man alone, his spirit raw with unhealed wounds. Had he known many women? Surely he had. Latigo’s rugged features and dark, feral grace would be enough to draw the gaze of any female he passed. But love? Rose mentally shook her head. Loving a man like Latigo would be like loving the wind. His knuckles brushed her leg as he reached for the wrappings again. The unexpected touch sparked a ripple of awareness through Rose’s body. She turned to find him looking up at her, his eyes intent but guarded. “Who are you?” she whispered again, quivering as his gaze pierced her defenses like a stone-tipped arrow. “To you—no one and nothing,” he murmured. “A passing ghost with the first light of sunrise.” “So when will you go?” Rose heard herself asking…

Chapter One

Arizona Territory

April 7, 1876

Latigo’s vision was a red blaze of pain. He sagged over the neck of his spent mustang, teeth clenched as he battled to stay conscious. He had been riding most of the night, every lurch of the horse like a lance thrust into his bleeding shoulder. The Colby Ranch couldn’t be much farther unless, in this cursed stupor, he had somehow become lost.

The ghost face of the waning moon hung low in the western sky. Startled by hoofbeats, a miniature owl exploded out of its burrow and flapped screeching into the darkness.

Latigo cursed, fighting pain as he struggled to calm his spooked mount. He had lived all his life in the desert, and he was as much at home here as the sharp-nosed coyotes that ranged along the lonely arroyos. But tonight he was no coyote.
