Beautiful Kristen Haardrad longs for adventure and the chance to find a husband. She steals away on her brother's ship and hides in the cargo only to find her a part of a raid gone wrong, when they were captured by the men of Royce of Wyndhurst, a powerful Saxon lord. When Kristen's disguise was uncovered, Royce orders her to work in his hall. Just like her mother, Kristen refuses to accept that she's a slave, which angers Royce. To add more trouble, both become besotted with each other.

Kristen is one of the strongest heroines you will come across. She is brazen, willful and completely unafraid to go after what she wants. Royce is handsome, hot-tempered and commanding. Once Kristen set her eyes on him, you know that you're in for some pretty spicy romance.

Another plus to the story is the involvement of Kristen's family members and friends. We read a brief recap of Garrick and Brenna's love story and reaffirmation of the continuing passion in their relationship. And we are introduced to a whole lot of sexy Viking men who will make you laugh. I mean, how often do you read about magnificent Vikings with god-like looks who have been captured, chained and what not, and yet still manage to retain their sense of humor? Every scene with them and Kristen's family is guaranteed to entertain you.
