"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.
