England, 1070. The last thing Steinar wants after losing his wife is falling in love with another woman for the wrong reasons.
So when Cwenthryth, a Saxon he’s never seen before, comes knocking at his door asking for help, he refuses to listen to her plight.
She’s far too beautiful for him not to fear losing his head over her. Cwenthryth is a cornered woman. Barely recovering from the loss of her baby, she has no one to turn to.
If the formidable Norseman cannot—or rather will not—help her, then all is lost, because her enemy is waiting for her back in town.
What will it take to convince him of the danger she’s in, and make him see she’s not out to trick him?
