Katherine Fairfield and her missionary husband were traveling to Oregon Country to spread God's word to the natives, when the young minister was struck down by fever. Suddenly, Katherine was left alone to find her way there, as well as fulfil the promise she'd made to her husband-to complete his work. And she would do it...somehow. Lucky for her, help came...in the form of a man who needed some saving himself. Metis trapper Jed West was starting to regret rescuing Katherine Fairfield. She tempted him like no female he'd ever known. But she was a missionary, not a woman. The trail was no place for someone like her. But the longer they travelled together-and the closer they became-the more he doubted he'd be able to let her go...
