"Cooperate or you'll never see your son again."

Someone wanted tribal police chief Joe Lonewolf's attention, and now they had it. He had returned from war to learn he had a son — by Maggie Brandt, the woman he had never stopped loving but had forced himself to forget. If only it were so easy… Now they had only three days and each other — and nothing would stop them from rescuing their infant child.

Their frantic search soon unearthed deadly corruption in the South Dakota community — and old desires. With tensions rising on the reservation, the proud Lakota sought justice and found a kindred spirit in Maggie. He would need her courage if he was ever to set eyes on his beautiful baby boy.
