The Highlander's Norse Bride

She's running from the Scottish mercenaries who destroyed her village and family. He's her sworn enemy. Can she grow to love the man whose countrymen cost her everything? Caught between two kings vying for sovereignty of the Isles and Western Scotland, Hanna of Hällstein has lost everything. Overcome by grief, she flees the smoldering ruins of her village and crosses to the Scottish mainland, intent on taking her revenge on the unsuspecting Scots. Torn between his loyalty to the Scottish king and aiding the displaced Norse on his shores, Alex MacLean soon finds his heart involved with the lovely, bitter woman he allows into his home. Though she tests the limits of his patience-and his power as laird-Alex is determined to make Hanna his. Hanna struggles to maintain her hatred of the Scottish laird. But as grudging trust gives way to love, will her vow of vengeance destroy her chance at happiness? The Highlander's Norse Bride is the fourth book in the Hardy Heroines historical romance series and can be read as a standalone. If you like strong heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, and a second chance at love, you'll adore this exciting, heart-warming addition to the MacLean family saga.
