Aslak inn fagri, 'the handsome one', has joined the invaders' army in the hope of settling in England and forgetting about his wife's betrayal. During the attack on a Saxon village, he meets a brave, intriguing Saxon woman disguised as a man and takes her as his slave, for her protection. Eahlwyn is, at first, horrified at finding herself at the mercy of the fierce warrior. However, she quickly sees that there is more to the enigmatic Dane than violence. He is also protective and uncompromisingly masculine, a heady combination... If she can accept the feelings her captor stirs in her, she will have found the man she has been looking for all her life. Everything is against them, but nothing will keep them apart. To be together, they will have to swallow their pride, survive injuries, overcome prejudice, bide their time and make sacrifices. Will they be able to do all those things for their love? Publisher's Note: This steamy historical romance contains graphic scenes and elements of power exchange.
