Backcover Synopsis - TORN BETWEEN HONOR AND DESIRE...

Innocent Margriet Gunnarsdottir carried a heavy secret.  She faced a perilous journey to the wild and distant north of Scotland, and her safety lay in her adopted disguise--a nun's habit!  But her only protector, a proud, rough-hewn Highlander, made her ache to share her crushing burden.

Rurik Erengislsson had sworn to see her home and unharmed.  A woman promised to the service of God should be shielded and honored--not desired!  Yet Rurik was tempted beyond reason to make this beautiful waif his own.

Personal Opinion - Another book that shows the extent of the Vikings  hold on the world of their time.  The conflict between Rurik and Margriet was interesting to read, as each had a secret and worked very hard to keep it from the other.  The treachery and debauchery  of Rurik's half- brother was  despicable.  The surprise at the end was unexpected. All in all, it was a very good book.
