Blind Mercy
by Violetta Rand
The Sigurdsson family legacy continues…
A
woman who prayed for a hero…
Orphaned at a young age, Rachelle Fiennes prayed for a hero to rescue her from her tragic life in England. When her only kinsman goes missing after the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Rachelle braves the aftermath of the battlefield to find him.

A
man who lost everything…
Damned
by the gods for surviving the bloodiest defeat in Norse history, Jarl Tyr
Sigurdsson is still determined to get home. Hiding until nightfall so he can
escape to his ship, his dangerous endeavor is disrupted when he’s accidently
discovered by a beautiful Saxon.
Brought
together by war, Rachelle and Tyr face many obstacles. Can sworn enemies find
peace through love, or will fate be cruel?
Since the first day they’d met, Tyr had been embroiled in
strife and violence. Standing in this holy place, he seemed vulnerable, almost
normal. Only once before had she seen this level of tenderheartedness in him.
The degree of compassion he showed his deceased brother when he prepared him
for funeral rites still haunted her. Of course, what man wouldn’t be moved by
such tragedy? This was decidedly different. Baffled by this transformation, she
watched him closely.
“I thank you for this kindness.”
He embraced her. The motivation behind his touch had
changed, she felt it.
“I swear on this holy ground, I’ll never hurt you again,” he
said.
He’d pledged it before. Could she be foolish enough to
believe again? Didn’t he understand she couldn’t get past the fact he was
holding her for ransom? Could she ever really forgive him for deceiving and
shaming her? Caution did little to help her cause. Jolts of lust shot through
her. It felt wonderful to be touched by him; but as welcome as those feelings
were, they must stay hidden forever.
“I want to believe you,” she said.
He tipped her head upward. “I make no promises I can’t
keep,” he assured her. “If there’s anything I can do to ease your pain, ask
me.”
She remained silent. Somewhere in the recesses of her mind,
a place existed where happy thoughts thrived. She pictured how it would be if
he dropped on his knees and declared his love. All of this was quickly swept
aside.
“I’ll leave you now,” he announced. “My men are aware of
your situation and will not disturb your observances. When you are ready, they
will escort you back to the house.”
