When Rosfrith finds herself falling for Ubba, she resolves to keep her distance -- he already has a bedmate. But when Ubba reciprocates Rosfrith's feelings, she must face not only the wrath of his jealous bedmate, but the contempt of all the other slaves and the disapproval of Ubba's friends. Can she survive the deceptions and manipulations of those who wish to destroy the mere slave who has won the heart of a powerful man? This historical romance captures the imagination with a story of love, greed, jealousy, and deception.
