Wild Wind Westward — Vanessa Royall

From Norway's icy fjords to America's savage frontiers, they followed a bold destiny and a dream of undying love...

Her beauty was a blessing and a curse....

Her hair was like the summer sun. Her eyes reflected the clear blue Norwegian skies. She would be Gustav Rolfson's reluctant bride. For her sake he would forge an empire in America.

But Kristin Arnesdatter was forever bound to another... to Eric Starbane, who had fled his homeland with a price on his head and vengeance in his heart... Eric, who would make his way in an alien land torn by civil war... who would win honor and prepare for a greater battle still -- the battle to reclaim his beloved and carry her to the bold frontiers of love and golden promise.
