For a Viking's Heart - Ancient Songs by Laura Strickland Paperback

Book Synopsis

Two enemies bound together by one love.

At the hall of a Scottish chief deep in the western Highlands, a bard sings and plays on his harp, spinning tales to the gathered company. The hour grows late indeed, but his listeners, caught deep in the enchantment woven this night, beg for one more tale. From his heart he tells of a woman so brave and strong that his words, however beautiful, can scarcely do her justice.

Hulda Elvarsdottir is a woman striving to make her way in a man's world. Devoted to the idea that no man should ever give up his life to defend hers, she has learned to fight and battle in her own right. But when her beloved brother dies while raiding on a Scottish shore, she sets her sights on revenge.

Quarrie MacMurtray's ancestors have held the settlement on Scotland's western coast for generations uncounted. He knows his duty is to follow in his father's footsteps as chief. For him, that means watching the horizon for black sails and spending his life against the Norse, if necessary.

The last thing he expects when he meets the woman who's come seeking vengeance is to feel an irresistible pull toward her.

Or to hear the echoes of a song as ancient as it is beautiful, with the power to change his very life.
