Defying Roger: Roger's Bride
A Battle for the Heart
As oldest son and heir, Roger of Anglesea must marry and do so advantageously. It is his duty. But his tough warrior exterior hides the heart of a true romantic. Deep down, he longs for the love and companionship shared by his parents and newly married siblings.
Strong-willed and fiery, Kathryn of Mandeville is an “unnatural” lady. She wants nothing more than her independence and to follow in the footsteps of the Viking shield maidens of old. Once her sister, Matty, is wed, Kathryn is free to follow her chosen path.
When Matty flees her arranged marriage to Roger, however, their respective plans are routed. Kathryn proposes an alliance. She will help Roger find Matty, and Roger will keep her beloved sister safe from their cruel father. As the hunt for Matty takes an unexpected turn, a fiery mutual attraction flares, and Kathryn and Roger quickly discover they are fighting a battle within—one for the heart—and one that draws them ever closer.

Not really sure if I enjoyed this book completely or not. I was not impressed at all with the heroine along with her mother or sister. In the end all issues worked themselves out to everyone in a liveable state
