Oh, I just loved this book! It's set way way back. I love historical romances and was so glad when Love Inspired came out with their Historical books! These is just a good historical Chrisian romance! ( )

Biblical verse: Galatians 3:26-28
Not a bad star to the new Historical Romance series by Harlequin. Ancestral land in northeast England bequeathed to beautiful young woman, Bromwen of Rossall. Bromwen betrothed to smelly and dirty and bad-mannered Viking lord for political advantage purposes. She tries to make the best of it despite her attraction to a handsome Norman lord, Jacques le Brun, who she met on the night of her betrothal. Her husband does not consummate the marriage. A plot is revealed to keep Bromwen childless so that her scheming cousin, Aeschby, can take Rossall and form an alliance with the Viking’s evil son. After the Viking’s castle is besieged by Normans led by Jacques, Bromwen and sister Gildan go to London with intention of becoming nuns. Her feelings for Jacques leave her confused and unable to find direction. With the help of a generous family, Thomas Becket, a young priest, and the new king, Henry Plantaganet, Bromwen is able to win back Rossall, discover and accept Christianity, and marry the man she loves, Jacques.
