Eight horses, two rifles and gold coins without number are what Geoff Shine pays as the bride price for Sarah Blackford when he weds her in a Cheyenne ceremony of joining. But can the love of a Cheyenne half-breed for a white woman overcome the fears, hatreds and prejudices of the soldiers who man the Julesburg Army Encampment, or Geoff’s betrayal by Major Hastings?Geoff and Sarah, along with their friends, Clay and Belinda Hanes, attempt to survive and thrive in the hostile Wyoming Territory in the early 1870s. Will Geoff and Sarah’s bond be strong enough to withstand the differences in their backgrounds, or survive the desire of the camp commander’s wife to force them into a Christian marriage ceremony?
