Description

In the Rocky Mountain fur trade of the early 1800s, the intense rivalry between the powerful Hudson's Bay Company and the North-West Company is complicated by the arrival of ILONA BAPTISTE--a lovely and much-desired Métis maiden who could become the catalyst for a bloody trade war between two companies. Young trader GARTH CAMERON and the brutal H.B.C. woods boss LOUIS SAVARD both want Ilona, and end up in thrilling, pursuit through the Rocky Mountain wilderness, with Ilona the prize. Terrified of one pursuer, and in danger of falling for the other, the brave young woman is dependent upon her native cunning and survival skills to save herself and the man she comes to love.

Reviews

""Both evocative and exciting, THE HORSE TAMER'S CHALLENGE tells a startlingly original tale of love, loss and nonstop adventure on the wild and unpredictable frontier of the Nineteenth Century. Lucas Swallow is an unforgettable hero, a man of two starkly different cultures who walks between them with cunning grace as well as compassion. Gordon Aalborg is an impressive and consummate storyteller."

-Michelle Black, author of Solomon Spring and other novels of the Victorian West.

""THE HORSE TAMER'S CHALLENGE has everything - wonderful settings, adventure, great characters you'll love and some you'll hate, lots of action and suspense, romance, and fascinating Native American lore."

-Marilyn Meredith, author of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series

""THE HORSE TAMER'S CHALLENGE is a gritty, gut-wrenching adventure story that stirs the imagination and satisfies the heart. This is the stuff of which legends and bestsellers are made. A panorama of how the West was really won, it's filled with the kind of love, adventure, danger and history that keeps readers turning the pages to the very satisfying end. Not since the heyday of Louis L'Amour has there been a western this well-researched, this well-written."

-Fran Baker, best-selling author of Once a Warrior
