Victoria Vane

A WARRIOR NEVER SURRENDERS... HER HEART As the epic struggle to rule Brittany continues, Ivar the Red unexpectedly finds himself in charge of the Norse army after his brother, Valdrik, is severely wounded. Intensely loyal, Ivar is prepared to do everything to see their victory through-except taking a Breton wife. Nevertheless, Lady Emma of Quimper fascinates him more than any woman he's ever known. Although her highborn status protects her from bondage, Ivar vows to claim her as his own. Lady Emma of Quimper is determined to defend her home as fiercely as any knight, until she opens the gates to save an old friend from Viking invaders. But her trust has been misplaced, and she finds herself at the mercy of a bloodthirsty heathen-Ivar the Red. Pride keeps Emma from fully surrendering to the conquering lord of Quimper, even when she realizes he's not quite the devil she imagined. Ivar has always enjoyed a challenge, especially one from a beautiful Amazon with the heart of a warrior. Though she defies him at every turn, Ivar deals gently with Emma-until she betrays his trust and escapes. Refusing to be made a fool, Ivar sets out to recover his captive who is determined to return to Quimper at the head of an army. When Ivar finds her in the clutches of death, he suddenly realizes she matters far more than his injured pride and sexual desire. He will do anything to save her and give up everything to make her his.
