Viking raiders, cold vengeance, hot passion . . .
Rorik can't leave the exquisite beauty, lying beaten and helpless in an English manor hall, in the vicious hands of her husband - or to be found by the advancing Viking raiders. So he carries her away to his ship. But is Rorik intent on saving her - or having her for himself?
