Synopsis

After centuries of conflict, a peace treaty has finally been drawn between the warring Saxons and Norse — largely due to the wisdom and bravery of the legendary Viking leader Wolf Hakonson and the noble warrior Lord Hawk.

Hawk and Wolf each married women from warring clans to unite the Saxons and Norse. But for all its blessings, the promise of peace will remain fragile — unless it can be sealed forever by a third and final marriage between these two proud clans....

Come Back to Me

The most feared Viking to come out of the Northlands in a generation or more, Dragon Hakonson, brother to Lord Wolf and friend to Lord Hawk, hopes to steal a few days away by himself before entering into an arranged marriage with a Saxon bride.

But instead of tranquillity, Dragon finds intrigue and passion when he has a chance encounter with a beguiling beauty disguised in boy’s garb. It is clear that the fiery-haired, fiercely willed Rycca is running away from something ... or someone.

Dragon is determined to uncover Rycca’s reasons for escape and see her safely to her destination. Yet rather than surrender herself to Dragon’s care, Rycca dares to defy him, disarm him, and even enchant him.

For Rycca has a secret gift that Dragon cannot see. Stalked by the tragic past, struggling to fulfill the promise of peace, only when it is too late does Dragon discover the truth: that the temptress who has stolen his heart is none other than the woman destined to become his reluctant bride....


From the Paperback edition.

Pledged to marry in order to ensure peace between the Saxons and Norsemen, Rycca runs away. Abused by her father and brothers, she fears her betrothed. Dragon Hakonson has a reputation as a fierce warrior. Dragon comes across her as she tries to escape and neither is aware of the identity of the other. The marriage begins with much animosity but of course, this is a romance so things work out before too long. This book is only one in a series. I had previously read another in the series and enjoyed it. Each of the women in the series has a special gift and that gives the historical romance a bit of a twist. I like to read early historicals, as they send me to my library bookshelves in search of more information on that particular historical period. An enjoyable read.
