От издателя
Sent to help an overwhelmed cavalry, Lieutenant Colt Prescott is afraid of nothing, cowed by no one, and ready to ride for what he believes. . .
Colt
Hannah Brownley is a Texas girl, through and through. Defiant even after being held prisoner for years by the Comanche, her spirit has kept her fighting--and kept her alive. And it's not about to be broken now by a so-called rescue that's separated her from the one person who matters--her son.
But Colt cannot let Hannah return to her captors, even if doing so would appease the ruthless warrior endangering his fort. Nor can he forget her haunted moonlit eyes that seem to see through him, to his deepest desires. Which leaves him no choice: to find Hannah's child and be the hero she's always deserved. . .or die trying.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Gentry's third Texans western (Rio; Diablo) features stock characters in a rote, overwrought story. Lt. Colton Prescott reaches his new assignment, a Southwest Texas fort, where he plans to help U.S. forces confront the local Comanche, with whom he spent a decade. After flirting with the commander's dainty daughter, Olivia, Colt leads a raid into a Comanche camp and rescues Hannah Brownley, who was abused by her white husband and then kidnapped, raped (resulting in the birth of a child), and mistreated by the Comanche. Colt falls for Texas-bred, emotionally scarred Hannah and helps her rescue her son, even though Eastern-born, duplicitously sweet Olivia appears to be the better match. The remainder of the tale is divided between praise for rugged, loyal, honest Texans and scorn for Olivia's attempts to snare Colt and ruin Hannah, all at the cost of the reader's interest.
