Bitter Autumn

More about the book

Flame-haired Birdie Mae Dix has no idea what tomorrow will bring. Kidnapped by the Pawnee and traded to the Comanche, she is now in the custody of the US Cavalry. After eighteen years of loss and cruelty, she trusts no one, not even the handsome captain whose piercing blue glare fills her with apprehension...and unwanted desire. Years of war have hardened Captain Ford Thackery. Pledging his life to a military career, he has sworn never to consider married life-until he rescues Birdie. He knows he must earn her trust as well as find a way into her heart. When she is abducted by a renegade Pawnee cavalry scout, Ford embarks on a dangerous journey of rescue, but he and Birdie must still bridge the gaping chasm of hatred that separates their worlds.
