The Viking and the Crown
Sally Anderson

A Viking prince sent to betray. A crown princess sworn to protect. One love destined to shatter kingdoms.
Prince Leif Sigvaldsson was forged in the fire of northern conquest—raised to invade, conquer, and burn. When he's sent as a spy to a British stronghold to prepare the way for his father’s war fleet, loyalty to his people is the only oath he honors.
Until he meets her.
Princess Aveline of Cantebury is the future of her intelligent, fierce, and bound to duty. But when she crosses paths with the mysterious foreigner hiding secrets behind his quiet eyes, everything begins to unravel. What begins as suspicion turns to curiosity. What blooms in shadow soon burns too bright to ignore.
Torn between his blood and his heart, Leif must betray the woman who changed him—or fight against the only world he’s ever known. As war crashes upon their shores and betrayal cuts deeper than steel, Leif and Aveline are forced to sacrifice everything… or lose each other forever.
A sweeping, emotional historical romance of enemies turned lovers, forbidden passion, and the price of choosing love over legacy. Perfect for fans of Johanna Lindsey, Kathryn Le Veque, and Outlander.
