The book starts off with Ruby and Rain visiting York in modern times. Rain is a doctor and 30yrs old. Ruby's husband Jack who was the look alike for Thork has passed away. They decide to visit because York has set up a museum of old Viking artifacts. When Rain sees one painting of Selik she knows that he is the man who has haunted her dreams for years. She goes back on her own and is transported back in time to the very battle the picture represented. She sees Selik fighting like a mad man and rescues him from the attacking Saxons.
Selik is no longer the handsome man Ruby knew. He is battle scarred and has scars that no one sees on his heart. He takes her captive but lets her treat the injured including a young Tykir, her half brother. Selik doesn't really believe the story she tells about being from the future but after a time he comes to accept it as the truth.
Selik is a wanted man and must take himself off to protect Rain but she won't have any of that. She decides that she is there to save him and save him she shall, even if he doesn't want to be saved. Along the way we get to meet Adam, who I hope gets his own book and we also find out what happens to some old friends.
I really liked the humor that Sandra Hill puts into her tales. The passionate love scenes could burn the paper they are written on. All in all this was a good book and hard to put down.
