The Black Wolf is dying. The traitor who felled the outlaw fighter needs him alive because the Black Wolf hides a treasure hoard. When he wakens, pretty Gisla tends his wounds. The men will return with the full moon, yet the healer buried his sword. As he recovers, the Viking tries persuasion—brutishness and the sensual arts, but clever Gisla sees through him. Changing tactics…he helps her, shares his true name, brings her wildflowers like a smitten boy. Because he is. Gisla’s tamed his heart, a terrible thing for a warrior famed for roaming free. Now he must decide what he treasures most before time runs out.
