But when the beguiling gray-eyed beauty demands that Reinn Geirsson take her with him when he leaves her father's conquered stronghold, he cannot refuse. Eva is desperate to escape being forced into marriage--and she gambles everything on the hope that Reinn is as honorable as his brother is cruel. What she doesn't expect is the attraction she feels for the Viking warrior, or the desire his kiss ignites within her....
