FORBIDDEN
(This novel is 72,000 words in length.)
The story is set in troubled Anglo Saxon times. A torrid love affair blossoms between two completely different cultures. Where the main character Harriot is a prisoner within the walls of her own family. Her father, a wealthy and independent man, that cares little for the people around him, had left Harriot to suffer through her step mother and sisters cruel games, for longer than she could bear, and when Ivar storms the defenses of her childhood home with other Viking men, his arrival and his sincerity towards his missing brother is a breath of fresh air.
Torn between destroying everything within his path to get the answers he needed on his brothers whereabouts, and helping the daughter of the man that had murdered his wife, Ivar admires her quiet determination in the faces of so many hos
tile men. The fierceness that bubbled about inside of him when that determination and unlikely strength was shattered, encouraged him to do something he had never dreamed he might do, he whisked Harriot away with him and his men, and as he watched the injured woman sleep he tried to convince himself that he had done it because he could use her as ransom, but deep down he knew differently. He had helped her, and he had wanted to protect her because the image of his deceased wife, bruised and battered had made him vow that he would never allow a woman to be treated so again, at-least not if he had any say in the matter.
