Utah Territory. A forbidding world of mesas and steep canyons, a land as harsh as it is beautiful, as treacherous as it is beguiling -- the last place a woman would call home.No one who roamed the steep green mountains and red-rock canyons of Utah Territory was safe from El Cascabel and his renegade warriors -- not Janna Wayland, not the wild stallion, Lucifer -- not even Ty MacKenzie, the stranger who had come for the stallion, and stayed to capture Janna's heart. Now all three must join forces and make their escape, or die trying.Janna has survived in the badlands by her wits, her determination and her knife. She is as bold and free as Lucifer, the wild stallion she vows to protect from those who will stop at nothing to possess him. Men like Ty MacKenzie, whose will to survive is as strong as her own.Nursing Ty back from death's grasp, she realizes quickly that neither Lucifer nor her heart is safe from this man's fierce strength and determination. With no choice but to live as his ally, Janna must follow Ty on a perilous trek through the blazing land, battling the elements, danger and her own reckless heart with a fury that can only be tamed by love itself.

This book is a waste of time unless you like a hero who demeans and belittles the woman he takes to bed over most of the book. A person might read this book if they enjoyed the rest of Lowell?s western-flavored stories and thought this was in the same vein. There are lots of l-o-n-g sex scenes interrupted by a bit of plot.
This story takes place in Utah Territory. The story starts out with a bang and I knew this just had to be a winner. Janna has lived alone in this wild land for 5 years ? since her father died when she was 14.
Using a spyglass, she is watching the most dangerous man in the territory, El Cascabel, and his renegades beat a nude white man as he runs the gauntlet. Just as it looks as if the man will succumb, he sprints away from the enraged renegades. A chase-to-the-death begins.
Because the man was obviously injured, Janna runs across the land, trying to intercept him. When they meet, Janna takes him to her private hiding place and cares for his wounds. Now both of them are in danger of experiencing El Cascabel?s terminal wrath.
Slowly, the tale starts to unwind in a blaze of trite and laughable descriptions and dialog. It seems that the author was padding the pages; there were countless descriptions of the mesas and canyons. I won?t be reading the rest of this series.
