about book:
It began with lies.
One-quarter Nez Perce, Cord Sutton attempts to hide his Indian blood
by adopting the life of a gentleman. As part of the ruse, he intends
to gain respect by buying the Lake Hotel, an island in the Yellowstone
wilderness that offers elegant accommodations to travelers on the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
When Chicago heiress Laura Fielding is rescued from a stagecoach
robbery in Jackson Hole by a rugged looking mountain man in rough
clothing, she hides the fact she is wealthy. She does not know the
man traveling to the park with her is, in fact, Cord Sutton.
Nonetheless, during a three-day wilderness journey their alliance
is sealed. Upon arriving at the Lake Hotel, Cord and Laura learn each
other's true identities. . .and the fact Laura's father is backing
a rival to purchase the hotel.
On opposite sides, Cord and Laura find bigotry, arson, and the desire
for revenge threatens their growing love, and their lives. If they
survive, Cord must learn to embrace his heritage and Laura must turn
her back on her father's luxurious world. . .IF they survive. . .
The Lake of Fire.
