Once upon a time, young Arion Morgan saved eight-year-old Lauren Macrae, whom his father took hostage. Twelve years later, Lauren repaid her debt to her enemy - she saved him from death. But now she faces an even more difficult test - as the head of the clan, she needs to enter into an alliance with an old enemy, the powerful Earl Morgan, in order to protect her native island from the bloodthirsty Vikings. This is a reluctant union, because Lauren is sure that she hates him with all her soul, but soon the green eyes of the young Englishman awaken completely different feelings in her.
