He came to a land where a man made his own rules....

Malcolm MacAllister was young and handsome and very much in love. When he agreed to lead an expedition to Canada for the Hudson's Bay Company, he'd figured on hardships.

But the reali- ties he found were far harsher than his expectations.

A trappers' war in which neither side gave quarter.

The terrible. Boisbrûles, a band of lusty marauders who boasted of their bone-cracking strength and their ability to make love.

Indian maidens who spoke virtuously and acted quite otherwise.

A sinister half-breed who had sworn to beat out Malcolm's brains.

And a land where love was not just a word, but a prize to be fought for both with a man's lips and with his naked fists!
