Kate Blackstone has a comfortable life living with her father. She’s the youngest of seven children, and her Father isn’t in any hurry for her to marry. Although, if she would marry Charlie, her friend of over 15 years, he would be truly happy. So would Charlie’s parents, the Mathews. Anna Mathews would love grandchildren. Then her Father hires another man to work in the stables. It really is hard to get good help. This new help will try helping himself to Kate and will kill anyone who keeps him from her.
Kate finds herself without a fiancé, a father, a home, or a safe place to hide. She runs to her brother Johnny, a Game Warden. Johnny does his best to protect her but ends up losing the love of his life. The new plan involves a long-haul trucker friend of her sister Dee. Bill is happy to have someone to protect. She’s his daughter’s age, and he’s in love with her sister, Dee. She gets to see some of the countryside but this is ends when her stalker starts showing up at truck stops.
Bill is forced to abandon her on the courthouse steps per his instructions. Judge Frank Dailey gives her refuge in his courthouse office closet, while she charms her way into his family’s hearts. Frank knows she can’t stay with him forever. She knows sooner or later her being there will put his grandchildren and wife in great danger. Frank is able to contact a lawyer he knows who might give her refuge on the Wind River Reservation.
Eric meets with Frank and agrees to give Kate sanctuary on the Reservation as long as the ruling Council is agreeable. He thinks he’s going to be guarding a rich socialite. The tiny young lady he meets sort of upsets the image he formed. He takes a jolt when she touches his hand at their first meeting. He flies her to the Reservation, where she casts a spell over the Council with her green eyes and pure heart. A snowstorm delays their journey into the mountains long enough for his mother to fall under Kate’s sweet pure spell. His Uncle Raven immediately knew she was more than just a young English woman. He causes her first trance and works to help her hone her special talents.
After fleeing to his father’s cabin in the mountains, Eric discovers her loving caring ways. Then he discovers his younger brother has been using his cell phone to talk to his girlfriend. The hired killers find them, and they are forced to flee from the cabin amid a barrage of gunfire. Kate takes two shots in her side. Eric is forced to give her his blood to save her life. When she is recovered enough, they flee to Eric’s cabin in the Teton Mountains until she can recover enough to go further into the mountains.
At the final cabin, her brother John joins them, and together, they lure the stalker into a trap. Free from his terror, they return to his mother’s home to plan a wedding, a birth, and a life together. She hopes she won’t have to release her spirit eagle and that her Spirit Warrior can build a nice life with her. However, life isn’t through throwing her challenges. The Shadowman is planning on completing what her stalker started. Then Mr. Shaw wants his son’s murderer taken to justice or maybe he’ll just take Eric’s sons to replace his. Maybe not. A new home, a surprise addition to their planned family, and then several more tragedies before happiness can find Kate. Or will fate take her Spirit Warrior away from her?
