She depends on him for survival ... while he is her reluctant protector. But neither of them expected to find love. An emotionally-charged historical adventure romance set in Dark Ages Britain.

The day Leofric finds a young woman washed up on a windswept shore, his life changes forever.

A monk upon the island of Lindisfarne, Leofric is living in exile after shaming his family. The girl he saves is Aelfwyn. Once handmaid to a queen, she is now fleeing from an immoral king.

Leofric, an arrogant young warrior forced into a monastic life, isn't used to looking out for anyone but himself. Yet the blonde and beguiling Aelfwyn now depends on him for her survival. Thrown together by circumstance, the pair escape the north together--and so begins an epic adventure. He helps her heal from the wounds of the past, while she gives him a chance at redemption--only, all too soon, the past catches up with them.
