Fox is a woman as feisty as they come. Once the most sought-after scout west of the Rockies, she led folks through wild, unexplored terrain–until a gunshot wound ended her guiding career.

Fox has lived in the wilderness for many years, with nobody for company except Peaches, her trusted friend. Matthew Tanner arrives on the scene.

"Oh, Tanner." She touched his lips with a trembling finger. "I'll love you forever ..."
