For the Love of Lone Wolf

Twenty-eight-year-old Rosalynn McAllister receives a letter from her sister, Susan, inviting Rosalynn, her two children, and their aunt to come live at Susan's farm in Peaceful, Minnesota. A fresh start is just what Rosalynn needs after divorcing her abusive husband. However, when she and her family arrive in Peaceful, her brother-in-law Mike is dead, her sister is gone, and Rosalynn's niece and nephew are at the home of the local minister. Mike's half-brother, Lone Wolf Larson, is now the legal owner of the farm.

Lone Wolf is skeptical of Rosalynn—and with good reason. As a half Lakota Sioux Indian, he has suffered more than his share of unfair treatment from the wasichu, the white man. But in order to gain legal custody of his nephew and niece, Lone Wolf must marry this white woman he just met.

Working together to care for their combined family, Rosalynn and Lone Wolf develop a friendship—and something more. But then he is accused of Mike's murder. Will the bond between Lone Wolf and Rosalynn see them through this and other seemingly insurmountable trials?
