"Your father will kill me if he knows I let you get that close to the edge, Lass."Eska has been Freya's best friend, constant companion, and protector since they were young. As the son of former slaves from England, Eska is not considered a candidate for Freya's hand in marriage.  When Freya spots strange ships in the harbor, she fears the worst.  Instead, Freya discovers her father has been keeping secrets about massive raiding by unknown assailants.  Her world is about to be turned inside out.  The ships in the harbor are friendly and carry her future.“They’ve come to celebrate a wedding,” her father says...“A wedding between Halvard’s youngest son, Asgar, and my daughter, Freya.”.Being the good daughter, Freya agrees, never dreaming that this stranger could evoke feelings so strong within her that she would never be the same.  But, there is danger in their midst."If only she knew how his heart beats for her, the way just a raised eyebrow undoes the manly mask around his heart. He knows he needs to apologize for the way he acted the night before, even if he didn’t mean it, just so she would forgive him and think that he is back to his normal self. “I’m sorry about my behavior. I’m just worried that I’m losing my best lass.”Erska comes along on the voyage to Freya's new home to protect her.  But Erska has other plans for Freya.“You’ll be mine again soon, Freya. I promise.”Creepy, right?  Who would have ever thought of a Viking stalker?  Just an absolutely gripping story.  I was totally taken in from the first sentence.  Then the fireworks started.  Oh, wow!  The chemistry between Freya and Asgar, is just amazing.  Erska's madness is off the charts creepy, but makes the story so suspenseful that I couldn't stop turning pages.  A  word of warning!  Tissues will be needed towards the end.
