Merciful Surrender (Heart of a Viking #2)

A woman who prayed for a hero… and found her enemy instead. Orphaned young and left to fend for herself in a harsh and unforgiving England, Rachelle Fiennes has long dreamed of rescue.

When her only surviving kinsman vanishes in the wake of the Battle of Stamford Bridge, she defies fear—and propriety—to search the blood-soaked battlefield herself.

A warrior cursed to survive… Jarl Tyr Sigurdsson should have died with his men.

Branded by guilt and haunted by the gods’ cruel favor, he hides among the fallen, waiting for nightfall to make his escape.

But when a bold and determined Saxon woman discovers him, his fate takes an unexpected turn.

Bound by necessity, divided by bloodshed… With enemies on every side, Rachelle and Tyr are forced into an uneasy alliance—one that soon ignites into something far more dangerous than war.

As vengeance, loyalty, and desire collide, they must decide if love is worth betraying everything they’ve ever known…

Or if some wounds—and some wars—can never truly end.
