Claimed as His Viking Hearth-Wife

Viking Iceland. Orphan weaver Runa watches the chieftain’s wife drown Ingrid, her only friend and the beloved wife of the warrior Vidar. Runa is framed for the murder and sentenced to die by Vidar’s blade. In the last heartbeat, he spares her and claims her as his hearth-wife. The price: bear him a son within a year, or die. Stalked by a killer and stirred by a strange power, she races to prove her innocence while falling for the gentle man she’s accused of widowing. Will love save her… or seal her fate?
