The Brightwood Expedition — Kay L. McDonald

Marlette Brightwood came from a sheltered life in Philadelphia to the unmapped, untamed Oregon Territory in 1842. Her guide was Ross Chesnut. Some said he was a white renegade, or had Indian blood, but no one doubted his abilities in battle or conquests on the field of love. Marlette had no intention of surrendering to this man shed despised at first sight and Ross would not take no for an answer from this woman whose life was in his hands. This is a soaring novel of passionate romance set against the majestic grandeur of the Northwest frontier.
