Northumbria, 867 A.D. Beautiful and courageous, the Lady Elgiva is as great a prize as the land the Viking conqueror now controls. Earl Wulfrum has taken her home, and now he will take her--as his unwilling bride. Wulfrum is a legendary warrior, but the strong-willed Elgiva proves the greatest challenge he has ever faced. Yet her response to his touch tells him she feels the all-consuming heat as much as he. Their passionate battle can end only one way--in the marriage bed!
This is the author's first book, and I'm looking forward to her next one. She did a great job portraying the turbulent times and how they affected individual lives. Both the hero and the heroine were portrayed as intelligent, honorable people who gradually overcome their mistrust to fall in love. The relationship builds up gradually and realistically, starting from a conquered and conqueror relationship to one based on mutual respect and trust. A poignant love story that makes you cheer for the well-deserved happy ending.
