Auder o'Reilly is an Irishwoman who is marrying a Norman lord to secure peace between her people and the Normans. She wants protection for the few members left in her clan. Regardless of her attraction to Gunnar, she must marry the baron.Gunnar Delrata is a Viking warrior. He has seen Auder grow from a gangly and awkward adolescent into a strikingly beautiful woman. He wants her more than anything, and will let nothing stand in his way...not even her betrothal to another man.This is a very nice short story with plenty going on. I loved the fact that Gunnar would let nothing stand in his way of getting Auder. She was brave and ready to sacrifice herself for her clan, knowing in all probability she would never be happy. The love scene is sweet and sensual. The twist at the end was unexpected, but satisfying. I give it high marks, although I would have enjoyed it more had it been longer. Highly recommended!
