About this audiobook
He took her freedom. She took his heart.
Lady Elara of Mercia expected death when Viking raiders stormed her coastal village. Instead, she is claimed as a prize by Torben Bjornsson, a ruthless warrior with winter-grey eyes and a battle-scarred soul. Dragged aboard a dragon-headed longship bound for the frozen Norse fjords, Elara swears she will never bow to the enemy who destroyed her world. She will hate him until her last breath.
Torben has spent his life trying not to become his father, a cruel man who broke the spirit of his own captive bride. When he claims the flame-haired Saxon noblewoman, he tells himself it is duty, nothing more. Deliver her to the jarl. Keep his oath. Do not let her fire burn through the walls he has built around his heart.
But forced proximity on the storm-tossed sea ignites a dangerous attraction neither of them can deny. Every act of unexpected kindness weakens Elara’s hatred. Every flash of her defiance makes Torben question the honour he has built his life upon. As rival warriors circle, ancient enemies close in, and the winter blót approaches, a forbidden love blooms between captor and captive.
Now Torben faces an impossible choice. Surrender the woman he loves to his jarl, or defy his oath and risk exile, war, and death. And Elara must decide whether the man she was taught to hate is worth sacrificing everything she has left.
In a world where duty and desire are at war, can a Saxon lady and a Viking warrior forge a love strong enough to unite their divided worlds, or will the flames of the past consume them both?
A heart-wrenching, slow-burn Viking historical romance of forbidden love, forced proximity, and the courage to choose each other against all odds. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, captive romance, and fierce heroines who refuse to surrender.
