The North knows Jarl Björn Eiriksson as a man who never breaks his word. He is honorable to those who deserve it, merciless to those who do not. A warrior whose name alone has ended battles before the first axe was raised. His people trust him with their lives because they know one simple truth: Björn protects what is his. He has never desired a woman beyond passing companionship. Never believed the old stories about fate weaving two souls together. Until Kára. The first time he sees her, something inside him shifts. She doesn't lower her eyes. She doesn't rush to please him. She doesn't fear him. Instead, she challenges him with quiet confidence and speaks to him with the same honesty she would offer a farmer, a child, or a king. Everyone else sees the fearsome Jarl. Kára sees only the man. That realization steals his breath. From that moment, Björn cannot stop watching her. Every conversation becomes something he remembers. Every smile she gives someone else makes his chest tighten. Every danger near her awakens a possessive instinct so fierce it surprises even him. He doesn't want to own Kára. He wants to earn the right to stand beside her... and make sure no one ever harms her again.
