Feared warrior Brand Bjornson

has finally got what he’s strived for – lands of his own, granted to him by his king. But his new estate, Breckon, holds more than a few surprises, not least the intriguingly beautiful Edith, former Lady of Breckon.

Proud Edith

refuses to abandon her lands to the mercy of Viking invaders and, impressed by her courage, Brand agrees she can stay.

His condition

– that she becomes his concubine!
