A Danish warrior. A Saxon lady who detests him. A love that will surprise them both... Act like a lady, think like a Viking... Lady Tilda of Skarsmore has supervised the fyrd and the farms of her manor without the interference of a man for three years, but then King Alfred of Wessex gifts her lands to a marauding Dane in return for peace. She vows the Viking will never take possession of what is hers. Even if she has to bend the truth, fight dirty...and pretend she's not wildly attracted to the marauder in question. But don't fall for a Viking... When Soren Guthredson arrives at his new manor to take possession, the full force of Lady Tilda's beauty literally knocks him off his horse. But he can't possibly fall for her. She's a Saxon, after all, and not to mention, at three-and twenty, she's positively ancient. Still, he pledges she can stay on at Skarsmore as long as she needs, not realizing it may be the greatest mistake he's ever made...or perhaps his wisest decision ever. Unless he is willing to sacrifice all for you... But Skarsmore is the most prosperous holding in Wessex, and Soren and Tilda aren't the only ones vying for its possession. The lady and the Dane have common enemies. They wait in the shadows, biding their time until Skarsmore is left weakened by their constant bickering. Will Tilda and Soren prove them wrong? Will they realize they are stronger together than they could ever be apart? Will this Saxon noblewoman find not just her lands...but her heart...Stolen by the Viking?
