Being outspoken isn't a problem for Krista Heart. As the publisher for Heart to Heart, she's use to speaking her mind on all things, regardless of her safety or reputation. If she believes in something, she will write about it. So when she attends the circus and discovers an attractive Viking descendant being held captive as a sideshow attraction, she does what she does best; she publicly demands his release at once. Despite Krista's attraction towards him, she turns him over to her father in hopes he can be made into an English gentleman.
Leif Draugr can't believe the woman he had been eying can understand anything he says. When he left his home to explore other lands, he never imagined he'd end up ship wrecked and captured, forced to becoming an attraction to please the foreign masses. With help from Krista's father, who takes him away to the country to teach him, Leif quickly learns all he needs to feel comfortable in this new land. When they learn that Krista's life has been endangered, he returns to help fight her enemies.
When Krista's father appoints Leif as Krista's own personal bodyguard, there isn't much she can do to deter him. Threats aren't anything new to Krista. She considers them part of doing a good job. But the threats towards her are escalating and the only thing standing between her and possible death is a warrior who's slowly chipping away at her defenses and getting to her heart.
HEART OF HONOR, the first in Kat Martin's newest trilogy, is the stuff dreams are made of. It's one of those books which when you get to the end, it just makes you sigh and puts a smile on your face. Leif will quickly steal your heart away and Krista is the kind of heroine that you find yourself cheering for all the way through. A thrilling start to a fantastic new trilogy. I can't wait to read the next installment, HEART OF COURAGE.
Krista Hart, publisher of the weekly London ladies' gazette
Heart to Heart, is not afraid to speak her mind. Even on
such unpopular issues as social reform--risking her
reputation and her very safety--Krista will not be
intimidated, although she knows full well she is the target
of angry opposition for her outspoken views.
When she encounters a powerful Viking descendant imprisoned
as a local sideshow attraction, Krista angrily demands his
release. Although she tells herself that freeing Leif
Draugr is simply the right thing to do, she can't deny
being attracted to the fierce Nordic chieftain, especially
after her father transforms him into a "proper" English
gentleman.
But as anonymous threats against Krista become more and
more aggressive, it is Leif who must face the unseen
enemies desperate to silence her, even as they push her
closer into the embrace of a warrior prepared to do
whatever it takes to make her his.
