Determined to live on her own terms, away from her conniving step-parents, high-spirited Moriah Laverty fled 'civilization' and disappeared into the wild mountains of New Mexico. She vowed to live free and unfettered: all she needed was to master a few survival skills and get accustomed to the solitude and silence she craved. But she hadn't counted on the surprising surge of passion she felt when a handsome half-breed rancher happened upon her -- and swept her into his arms for a breathtaking kiss! And though she knew that Devlin Granger must soon leave her, Moriah knew in her heart that only in the thrilling embrace of her warrior lover would she find a rapture sweeter than Wild Mountain Honey.
