Publisher's Summary:
Having been drawn to the wild for a number of years, young Luke McKinney is forced to leave 1839 St. Louis for the North Country even sooner than he expected to go. At 17, along with a female companion and an elderly father figure, he is literally running for his life.
With the law pursuing him and the wilderness unforgiving, he finds himself caught up in a survival system that has nothing to do with civilization or laws.
Then the unthinkable happens: The love of his life is taken from him. It is during the pursuit of her captors that Luke finds a strength and determination that will shape his moral existence for the remainder of his life.
This is a trilogy of books that spans the lives of Luke McKinney and Breanne Bruyere, their undying love, through hell and high water, for over 50 years.
Daring, thrilling, romantic, historic... What else is there? Unforgettable!

Exciting Western Trilogy kept me reading EVERY moment I could spare
This trilogy spans many decades as it follows the young love of Luke & Breanne as they run off together with an older gentleman named Pierre. Breanne is kidnapped by Indians and that begins the star crossed lovers extremely long separation. The stories mostly focus on Luke with starring roles by Breanne, Sarah, and a young Indian named Chaska. It is truly a western frontier adventure with so many twists and ironic turns along the way.
Unlike most trilogies, the weakest book in the series is the first (in my opinion). I still found it enjoyable, and went on to read the 2nd and 3rd books which I enjoyed much more. You do have to read the first book to understand what is going on, as these are in no way stand alone novels. It is definitely something I would recommend for Western readers, and I think many romance readers would enjoy it as well (though it is a "tame" romance). It was something outside my usual books and I really enjoyed it. I will be keeping an eye out for more of his work.
History of the wild west.
I loved this trilogy! Covering a span of over fifty years, the story brings to life the expansion of the country west. The story of Luke McKinney starts in St. Louis in 1839. It tells the tale of his life and his love for his wife Breanne. On the run from the law, they find happiness in a small cabin on a river. Breanne is captured by indians and Luke, while trying to find her, mistakenly thinks she was killed. He changes his name to Tom Hill and a friend helps to spread a tale that Luke was killed, ending the search for him for murdering an evil sherrif who deserved it. Breanne hears the rumor and, despondent, travels east to New York. The story then goes on to tell of their lives and unending love. With a cast of colorful characters and striking images of a virgin land populated by indians, the story tells the history of our country as seen through Luke's eyes. It is brought to life by cameo appearances by such historical figures as Jim Bridger, Gen. Custer, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse, among others. Will Luke ever be reunited with his lost love? Read this stirring tale of our country's growth. You will not be disappointed!
Captivating story
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It keeps you right in the middle of the telling and doesn't let you go. I hated to see it end. Thank you Mr.
