Book excerpt: After arriving in Roman Britannia, Valeria is captured by savages. She prays the Romans will find her-but it's Taran, a Pict warrior, who comes to Valeria's rescue and ignites an unquenchable flame of passion that fills her soul. Highborn and privileged, Valeria has never known life outside her father's Roman fortress. But when Hadrian's Wall falls, Valeria's world shatters. Ripped from her bed, she's captured by savages. Terrified, she prays her betrothed will mount a rescue. But it is the enemy, a Pict with Celtic tattoos and hair of fire who wields his sword and fights for her freedom. When she seeks refuge in the warrior's stronghold, the Picts eye her with distrust and force her to earn her keep as a commoner. But the longer Valeria remains, the more agonizing it becomes to conceal her burning love for the Celtic warrior.
