The idea of Sigrid joining hands with Viking Grimr Eriksson is laughable—they’re sworn enemies after all!—until her half brother’s treachery reignites the feud between their rival families.

There seems to be no getting past the distrustful warrior’s defenses, but when the king demands they produce an heir, can they put aside their loathing and give in to their longing?
