Her Heart's Desire

 

Eoghann Kentigern killed his revenge-driven brother in order to save his sister's life during the Battle of Freysteinn. His transition into Norse culture doesn't come easily when guilt lays so heavily on his shoulders over the blood shed by his hand. The one person who stops his mind from churning day and night is Idunna Fundinsdottir, his wife. Bold and desperately seeking happiness after her first husband's death, Idunna confides her darkest secret to Eoghann. He vows to fulfill her wishes, but he never expected to give her his heart as well.

 

Idunna's husband is troubled. She risked everything to save his life following the battle, but he's become the shadow of a man who carries a mountain of shame. Nothing except long nights in each other's arms seem to soothe his misery. And she begins to lose herself to the quiet, thoughtful man who seeks only peace.

 

When his nephew's life is threatened, although Eoghann denies any desire to wield another sword, he offers protection to the boy. Together, they travel to Suibhne, Eoghann's former home where he will face his past mistakes and become the man Idunna believes he can be, or they'll all die at the hands of Norsemen who seek to overthrow the lineage of the White Raven of Solstad.
