Suzette is a Diva in every way. From the way she dresses to the way she walks and talks. She is beginning to hate being the it girl and decides to take break to try this new spa retreat for some rest and relaxation. When her car breaks down on a country road she is more than happy to be rescued By Kyle a rancher and businessman.

Kyle is a mans man, he loves the outdoors and working with his hands. He is a cowboy after all. On one fateful day after doing some business in the city he is driving home when he rescues his destiny.

Suzette is a city girl in every way,in her high end jeans, expensive clothing and heels (who wears heels in the country?) but she was the most beautiful thing Kyle had ever seen he was a Big man and he loved a woman with curves, a woman who could handle a real man. From the moment he saw Suzette she was his.

At seventeen years old, Leah Henderson is homeless and pissed off as hell at the world. Pick pocketing is a trade she's become accustomed to and used as payment for what she thinks society owes her. However, her most recent victim is definitely no push-over or willing to let a "criminal" out of his sight until she is behind bars where she belongs.

Officer David Greenburg is a kind-hearted man with a loving temperament and wholesome family that, in his opinion, could use another addition and the young lady soaked to the bone sitting in front of him seems to be the perfect candidate. David's eighteen year old son is less than thrilled and more than happy to see her go, at least that's what he keeps telling himself.

Sally Parker had heard talk of Indian or "Injun" attacks out West, but that was just talk from around town. Right? Wrong.

Sally embarks on an enthralling, and often dangerous journey when she is kidnaped and taken into the Comanche Tribe. However, the journey isn’t easy, between battles with the increasingly, dedicated, hard-nosed, "war chief," Nakotah Quanah, and trying to fit into a strange society which she feels she doesn’t belong.

Just when things begin to look up, what happens when an enraged mistress wants her servant back and will go through all costs to get her back? Will this kick-off the beginning of many battles for the Comanche with the Texan government or can Sally defuse the situation in time?

Either way Sally is going to have make a life-altering decision that will not only affect her, but maybe for the ‘ayashe’ as well.
