Defiant Captive
Joyce Carlow

Brand's gentleness astonished her; his kiss set her afire. And when Malvin took her castle in an act of betrayal, she helped Brand escape, knowing it would turn Malvin's wrath against her. Then Brand returned with his Viking band to claim her, making her his prisoner, making her breathless with his touch. But was she the spoils of war, or his beloved? Caught up in a battle between; nations, Deirdre was a defiant captive, refusing to surrender until Brand realized that love could not be won by force...but by setting it free.
