In medieval England, Lady Breena’s life is shattered when fierce Viking raiders kidnap her across the icy sea, turning her vow of vengeance into a dangerous test of will. Captive and defiant, she refuses to become anyone’s possession—even as old promises, remembered hatred, and the brutal realities of power threaten to break her spirit. Her captor, Garrick, is a warrior hardened by conflict and sworn off women, yet the clash of pride and purpose between them sparks something neither can easily control. Blending high-stakes romance with themes of freedom, resistance, and the slow thawing of enmity, this story delivers Johanna Lindsey’s signature emotional intensity and sweeping, medieval atmosphere—where survival and desire collide.
