A master storyteller who spins romantic fiction like no other, Johanna Lindsey weaves together endearing characters, enthralling adventure and pulsating passion to create stories that touch the hearts of her readers.

Kristen Haardrad met the fury in the crystal-green eyes of Royce of Wyndhurst with defiance. She was his prisoner, but his slave she'd never be. Yet Kristen could not know the torment that divided his soul; how he ached to hold her soft, supple body -- yet hated her for an ancient crime that was not his own. But the powerful Saxon lord had met his match in the golden Viking beauty -- his equal in pride, in strength. and in the fierce hunger of insatiable desire. Until, in wordless surrender, they cast aside the shackles of doubt and distrust to unite forever in the searing promise of all-consuming love.
