Hostage to Thunder Horse

When a Lakota rancher saves a mysterious woman’s life, he’ll do anything to stop the danger that stalks her trail in this suspenseful Western romance.

Discovering an unconscious woman in a snowdrift, Maddox Thunder Horse vows to save her life. It’s a mystery how she wound up in a remote area of the Badlands, but one look in her eyes and Maddox knows it wasn’t by choice. The icebound beauty who calls herself Kat rouses protective instincts Maddox hadn’t felt in years . . .

Grateful for her rescue, Katya Ivanov doesn’t want to pull Maddox into her nightmare. While the growing attraction between them can’t be denied, neither can the killer who lurks in wait for her. But Maddox isn’t about to let Kat face the threat alone. With a warrior by her side, she just might have a shot at the life—and love—she’d always wanted. . . .
