He dug in Barney Webb’s pocket, pulled out a key and freed one wrist from the handcuffs. Webb’s prisoner moved across the floor so quickly Sarah could hardly take it in. She was alone, the only sounds those of the Comanches outside, beating on the door and shutters to break through. “You stupid little bitch,” he said, then turned the gun on himself.Īs his body fell, Sarah tried to push herself even farther back into the fireplace. Unable to get further away from the man and his gun, Sarah looked up into his contemptuous eyes, ready to argue, beg, but Broderick was the one who spoke.

Humiliated by Sarah's love for "Rebel trash," her jilted fiance extracts a revenge so vicious, he boasts that he destroyed the young lovers. They come to know each other, depend on each other and love each other. Except as survivors of a Comanche attack, Matt and Sarah spend far more than a moment together.

Sarah Hammond is the overprotected daughter of passionate Massachusetts abolitionists.
