Bound by Blood Growing up in the wild frontier of the Rockies, Zach King survived countless dangers, from nature and from human predators. Like his father, the legendary Nate King, Zach has learned to anticipate threats before they appear. But even Zach cant predict the danger he'll face when he travels with his fiance to meet her family in St. Louis. He knows they'll probably look down their noses at him because hes a half breed. Hes used to that by now. But he doesnt know just how far his beloveds family will go to "protect" her from marrying Zach. Some of the self-righteous relatives will stop at nothing to save the family's good name . . . even murder.
