Lady Eadyth of Hawks’ Lair was banished from polite society because she had a baby out of wedlock. She spends her days tending her bees, collecting the honey and wax, making mead and keeping to herself. She is determined to live out her life raising her son and being independent of any man. But when her son’s evil father threatens to reveal her son’s paternity, Eadyth is determined to find a man who will marry her and claim her son as his own.

Eirik of Ravenshire is one of England’s most sought after bachelors and he intends to stay that way. He’s a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy. One day a mysterious lady arrives at Ravenshire and offers him a chaste marriage in exchange for revenge against his most hated enemy. But as hard as Lady Eadyth tries to conceal her true beauty and age, Eirik begins to realize that he is drawn to her and has no idea why.

Hill has another re-issue hit in her Viking series. Two mule-headed people and all the antics that go with it, as they both try to ignore their inner attractions to the other. This book has it all: humor, passion, romance, and action. I loved this book, and I know you will, too.
