Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the Rocky Mountain fur trade of the early 1800s, the intense rivalry between the powerful Hudson's Bay Company and the North-West Company is complicated by the arrival of ILONA BAPTISTE--a lovely and much-desired Métis maiden who could become the catalyst for a bloody trade war between two companies. Young trader GARTH CAMERON and the brutal H.B.C. woods boss LOUIS SAVARD both want Ilona, and end up in thrilling, pursuit through the Rocky Mountain wilderness, with Ilona the prize. Terrified of one pursuer, and in danger of falling for the other, the brave young woman is dependent upon her native cunning and survival skills to save herself and the man she comes to love.
"Fur trade employee Garth Cameron is charged with taking Ilona Baptiste to a place of safety down-river from the Rocky Mountain House trading post. The journey is barely begun when the girl is shot, then rescued by Hudson Bay Company boss Louis Savard. Savard flees, leading Garth on a pursuit north along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. When Savard returns as if from the dead, heading an Indian uprising that threatens Rocky Mountain House, it falls to Garth Cameron to fight and finally conquer the evil menace that has threatened both their lives for so long"-- Provided by publisher.
