Colonel Samuel Shelby turns toward the western frontier with a mission to negotiate peace with the Osage people and distance himself from a failed marriage. What he expects to be a difficult assignment becomes far more complicated when he meets Olivia St. Etienne, a spirited young woman determined not to be treated as property or forced into another person's designs. Olivia's flight from a guardian's cruel bargain throws her into Samuel's path, and their journey through river towns and frontier settlements becomes a contest of pride, survival, and reluctant trust. Set against the Mississippi and the expanding American West, *Deep as the Rivers* follows two strong-willed people as they confront danger, desire, and the possibility of a future neither expected.
