Young orphaned girl marries a rich older man w/ whom she is friends. He soon dies and she goes on the run all over the world with lots of servants, guards, etc to keep his family from taking her fortune. They eventually go to America and meet up with an (half)indian and she falls in lust right away. This is the story of how they get together. Not very romantic in that she has her entire entourage with her until the end of the book when the 2 strike out on their own for protection. Decent read if you like western settings.

Jocelyn Fleming was a feisty, flame haired aristocrat, newly widowed after a shockingly brief marriage to an elderly British Lord. Wealthy and titled, yet aching with the pain of unexplored desire, her restless heart led her from polite London society to the perilious beauty of the untamed American West.

In a bold and merciless land, their vastly different worlds collided, the wild desert stallion unstoppable firestorm of frontier passion that threatened to consume them both.
This is one bad ass romance novel! I've been reading Johanna since I was 13 yrs old and I'm always waighting for her next one. I love this one because I know the trials and tribulations of being a half breed so I totaly understand our hero! Love conqers all!
this book was given to me..not read tho..
a great read
My copy has Fabio on the front cover.
Romance Novel
Good Book
I loved this western series
Johanna Lindsey fans might like this book; I thought it was average, at best. The story opens when Colt Thunder, a Cheyenne half-breed, was being whipped almost to death for having the gall to court a white woman.
In the meantime, Jocelyn Fleming married a duke and soon lost him through death. However, the duke knew that she would have trouble with the inheritor of his entailed estates and sent her around the world to experience life and hopefully find a new husband. She eventually gets to America and the West. She's trying to evade the inheritor who wants all of the money that the dead duke collected for Jocelyn to make her world trip.
To that end, she has an entourage, complete with a teal carriage and 12 guards. This plot has so many holes in it that the reader can drive the teal carriage through it.
However, my real beef with the formula story was the lack of meaningful dialogue between the hero and heroine. In the end, I couldn't see why they thought they had any promise of a future life together. The 'problem' of Jocelyn's virginity was laughable.
