A Viking's Love
Reeks: The Viking Horde
Karolyn Cairns
- Allisande
- of
- Lockwraithe
- paid
- the
- price
- for
- her
- father's
- treachery
- when
- the
- Viking
- invaders
- destroyed
- her
- home
- and
- abducted
- her
- for
- ransom.
The
- Viking
- leader,
- Joran
- Ivarsson,
- swore
- to
- make
- her
- suffer
- as
- his
- slave.
- One
- look
- into
- his
- fiery
- slave's
- eyes
- and
- he
- was
- the
- one
- enslaved.
Allisande
- expected
- to
- suffer
- at
- her
- captors
- hands,
- not
- feel
- the
- first
- stirrings
- of
- desire
- for
- her
- barbaric
- new
- master.
Forced
- into
- slavery
- in
- a
- harsh,
- unyielding
- land,
- she
- comes
- to
- understand
- the
- man
- who
- owns
- her.
- Sworn
- to
- hate
- him
- forever
- for
- the
- death
- of
- her
- father,
- Allisande
- learns
- the
- insidious
- truths
- that
- make
- her
- question
- all
- she
- has
- ever
- known.
Joran
- the
- Stonehearted,
- he
- is
- nicknamed,
- for
- his
- lack
- of
- softness
- for
- women
- and
- mercy
- in
- battle.
- Allisande
- undermines
- his
- best
- intentions
- to
- remain
- aloof
- to
- her,
- cracking
- the
- granite
- layers
- of
- his
- heart,
- making
- him
- question
- his
- using
- her
- as
- an
- instrument
- of
- revenge.
Slave
- soon
- conquers
- master
- as
- the
- fires
- of
- passion
- bring
- them
- closer.
- A
- force
- of
- wills
- clash
- and
- a
- tragic
- circumstance
- drives
- them
- apart.
Allisande
- and
- Joran
- become
- embroiled
- in
- a
- bitter
- web
- of
- deceit
- when
- Joran's
- father
- seeks
- his
- ultimate
- revenge
- against
- his
- enemies.
- Joran
- must
- choose
- between
- the
- woman
- who
- owns
- his
- heart
- and
- the
- father
- he
- has
- sworn
- loyalty to.
