Blaze of Desire — Kathleen Drymon

After she witnessed her guardian commit a brutal murder, Shannon Stone flees in terror through the dark streets of St. Louis. Fate leads her to the safety of a brothel and to a dying woman named Honey Belle. As the poor woman takes her last breath, a desperate Shannon steals Honey Belle's ticket to Montana Territory -- and her identity as a mail-order bride. When it turns out that her "husband" is actually five kind ranchers in need of a woman to cook and clean, Shannon embraces her new life at the Five Star ranch, unaware that danger has followed her west. Fate intervenes once more in the silver-eyed gaze of Hunter, a half-breed tracker of men for the Pinkertons, whose kiss is like a branding flame to Shannon's senses. And when he promises to protect and cherish her, Shannon knows that her heart belongs to him. But then danger intrudes upon their newfound love, and not even Hunter can keep Shannon safe from the evil forces that are determined to claim her...
