Unaware he was the second son of a powerful Viking jarl, dark-haired Sean was raised in an Irish monastery, destined to become a man of letters. But when he offered shelter to a lovely young Magyar slave, his life was changed forever. For when Natasha is recaptured and dispatched to Russia aboard an enemy’s Viking ship, Sean knows he must rescue her by at last accepting the assets of his Viking heritage.
Natasha had admired the handsome dark haired Irishman from afar and sensed that he was a man who would offer his protection when she fled her captors. Though their time together blossomed quickly into passion, cruel fate soon tore her from his embrace. Now, aboard a slave ship bound for Russia, Tasha is reunited with the man she loves, who has been transformed into a Nordic warrior with bone-deep courage—and to whom she will pledge her own destiny—wherever it takes her.
