Summary: Tohave and Katie
Review: Katie was forced to marry her father's best friend, Ezra Russell, because Ezra (a childless widower) needed a woman to go west with him.

For as long as Katie knew she has been abused, first by her father, then by her drunk older husband. While riding out to the prairies of Nebraska, Indians ride down on their wagon. They should be on the reservation, but their leader, Tohave, likes to play tricks and tease the newcoming settlers.

Finding Katie in the back of the wagon, Tohave can't believe such a beautiful woman can be married to the ugly old man driving the wagon.

Ezra, thinks women are only for doing chores and making babies, not believing that a woman would actually want him on his own merits, he thinks he needs to abuse women to get what he wants.

Tohave is Katie's only hope, and only true love. They'll be together no mattter what hardship befalls them.

DON'T PASS THIS UP... Bittner gets better with every book!
