The Viking's Heart

In this sequal to "The Maiden and the Warrior," there are several returning characters: Lucien, Alayna, and (now the hero) Agravar. Agravar saves Lady Rosamund from what he believes are kidnappers. She is in route to her betrothed, Robert, a man she has never met, but already knows she won't be able to marry him. Her step father has raised her to believe she is weak mentally, morally, and physically. She believes he killed her mother as well as being a cruel and arrogant man. The story follows Rosamund's realization that all men aren't cruel and she isn't weak. In the process she falls in love with Agravar, though she ends up married to Robert through trickery and threats. The story goes on from there. I enjoyed this light read, only wishing at times that there was more depth and development within the story. I've enjoyed all of Ms Navin's book and this one was no exception!
