Wrongly branded as a spy, the dark and handsome Viking lord Selig Haardrad suffered greatly in the dungeons fo Lady Erika of Gronwood. As he hung in chains, his magnificent body wracked with pain and fever, one thought sustained him - revenge!

But Destiny's great wheel has turned, delivering Selig's exquisite, honey-haired tormentor into the Viking's hands. Now Selig is the master, determined to break the proud spirit of his captive ice queen and to conquer her with passion's sword - never dreaming that his own heart would be vanquished by a desire to surrender to love.
