The Wedding Journey

"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" Victoria Landam held the gun -- Lady Victoria, who had worn the Landam sapphires, promised her hand to the elegant Paul Winterthur, Earl of Clattham, and crossed an ocean to keep her word.

What was she doing in a ruined cabin -- ragged, cold, and hungry -- as a blizzard raged across the prairies? Where was she going on this harrowing journey with a boy, an Indian, a vicious young girl -- and Owen Verinder? Owen, who had come to meet her, to marry her -- by proxy -- and bring her to his cousin Paul. Huge, ruggedly handsome, he stood before her. Delicate as a reed, Victoria steadied the gun. Owen had asked her to choose between love and honor. She was ready to cross the wilderness but could she cross the savage frontiers of her own heart?
