Known as Fire Seeker to the Apaches, Chiricahua half-breed Pace Colton is on a mission. His step-brother's daughter has gone missing in Mexico, and Pace is determined to rescue her from the evil murderer known as El Carnicero--the Butcher. Even if it kills him.
But Joanna is not completely helpless. High-spirited and strong willed, she manages to free herself from captivity and flees. But freedom is short-lived--El Carnicero's henchmen are after her, and closing in. Then, out of nowhere, rides her childhood hero, Pace, to the rescue! Together they race toward the Sierra Madres on a terrifying, thrilling adventure. To their amazement, they both learn that love burns bright in the Mexican desert. Joanna prays that if she can love him enough to hold him, she can heal his tortured soul. As Pace fights for their very lives with blazing guns and his defiant, Apache heart, he will be able to claim his destiny. For he knows that his destiny is Joanna.
