Konniger's Woman — Terrell L. Bowers

Keith Konniger enjoys his quiet, solitary life as a hunter. But when he rescues a woman and a child his world is turned upside down and then twisted a little bit more. Little could he know that his good deed would most certainly not go unpunished, as he finds himself with a war chief after his scalp, hired killers hot on his trail, and the worst fate he can imagine being stuck with two female companions until the spring thaw!

Konn soon learns that even more devastating than the punishment he's facing for coming to the aid of his two companions is the pain of loving someone who will never love him in return. His misery is eased only by the continued threats on his life, so when death comes looking for Konn, he welcomes the chance to meet it head-on!
