A helpless captive of the Ute Indians, lovely raven-haired Sara knew it was only a matter of time before one of Bear Claw's lusty braves made her his squaw. Then a blue-eyed stranger rode into camp, and Sara threw away the last shreds of her pride. She would get down on her knees and beg if the ruggedly handsome miner would only take her away with him. But after Eric had parted with his precious store of gold and risked his very life for her, Sara feared he would demand more than she could give. She had no money, no possessions, no family -- only her beauty, her innocence, and her willingness to join him on a wild, soaring journey to Passion's Peak.
