    About this ebook

    Raiders have invaded Rowena's comfortable existence and killed everyone she knows. Now she is being given to a chieftain's son. Who will emerge the victor? "By Honor Bound" is a 2,000-word short story inspired by a challenge: Create a brief, heart-pounding romance without turning it into erotica. And it must be set in the past. This is the result.
