920(AD), Land of the Danes
Though she is the beloved handmaiden of Viking lord Raktor's spoiled daughter, Celiese d'Loganville is a slave in a gilded cage. When her mistress refuses to wed a man rumored to be horribly disfigured, Celiese seizes her chance for freedom—maybe even love.
Mylan Vandahl has no need of a wife who pities him. But the enchanting—and perplexing—young woman, who fears him and boldly ignores his scars, arouses a need to soothe and tenderly seduce.
But after a wedding night of unparalleled passion, the rising dawn reveals Celeise's treachery. Now in the fight of her life, for her dream of home and family, Celeise must find a way to heal Mylan's shattered trust.
