The Lieutenant's Bargain

Hattie Walker is determined to pursue her painting dreams, but her parents give her a two-month ultimatum to showcase her work in Denver or abandon her aspirations. Her journey takes a dangerous turn when a gunman attacks her stagecoach, leading to her rescue by a group of Arapaho, whose kindness she struggles to accept. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Jack Hennessey, who has experience working with the tribe, must navigate his own feelings when he unexpectedly reunites with Hattie, resulting in a mix of miscommunication and potential conflicts that threaten both her dreams and his commitment to remaining single.
