Summary:

"After Amanda Barker loses her family to a cholera epidemic while on a wagon train, she decides to go on alone to fulfill her family's dream of a new life in California. However, the train captain refuses to let Amanda continue to San Francisco unescorted. Amanda, therefore, readily accepts the invitation of Charles Pierce, a handsome, charming hotelier, and his "mother" to accompany them. Yet Amanda is troubled by the warnings of Luke West, an Indian scout who befriends her on the trail. He claims that Charles has ulterior motives for assisting the beautiful young pioneer. Charles takes her completely by surprise when he proposes to Amanda. But before Amanda can consider his proposal, she is kidnapped in the night by a band of Indians. Terrified and helpless, Amanda fears what might come next. What did the captors want with her? Would Luke or Charles come to her rescue? Compelling and fast-paced, Captured Heart vividly portrays the dangers, excitement, and romance of taming America's frontier."--Back cover.
