Cloudcastle — Nan Ryan

A SACRET TRUST
Exquisite Natalie Vallance might have perished in the snow. The Indians -- amazed at her fragile form, her brilliant red hair -- found her, called her Fire-in-the-Snow, and made her mistress of Cloudcastle, a ranch high in the majestic Rockies ... protector of sacred Indian ground ... guardian of a treasure in buried gold.

A BLAZING PASSION
She was sworn to protect the land from ruthless prospectors and mysterious drifters like Kane Covington. Once he, too, had saved her life. They'd shared a night of passion she was ashamed to remember but would never forget. Who was he -- outlaw, swindler, or charming rogue? Why had he reappeared and what was he after? And why did his kiss, his touch have the power to make her forget everything -- except how much she wanted him?
