A RUGGED BLACKSMITH And when raiders attack her home, kidnapping her father, Amelia is left with no other choice but to accept Daniel's protection. Unsettled by the awakening passion he ignites, she fights her attraction for the handsome blacksmith—realizing only too late she has put her heart in jeopardy.
