Description
Hearts Aflame by Johanna Lindsey is the second book in the Haardrad Family series, a sweeping historical romance set in the rugged Viking era. The story follows Kristen Haardrad, a fiercely independent and spirited woman, whose life is upended when she becomes the captive of Royce, Thane of Wyndhurst.
