Enflamed


 












Enflamed, by Jody Hedlund, opens with Espen frustrated as he listens to the other Knights of Brethren speak fondly of their wives. He is having a hard time forgetting about his best friend’s sister, Sylvi Prestegard. This beautiful woman comes from a wealthy family; however, Espen, the son of a fisherman, can never think of being more than just friends with her!

Sylvi is not happy about the men her father has selected as potential husbands. She asks Espen to help communicate this to her father. Her father actually accuses Espen of wanting Sylvi for himself. Espen has been in love with Sylvi for years, but he knows he is not at her level and could never be considered as a potential mate!

When Espen leaves on a mission for the king, Sylvi disguises herself as a young boy to sneak aboard his boat. This is all she can think to do to avoid her father’s plans. As Espen is seeking to discover the location of the holy lamp, Sylvi wants to find out if she and Espen can ever be more than just friends!

Before you know it, Sylvi and Espen become man and wife and Espen is moving on to continue his mission to locate the holy lamp. Hold tight as both Sylvi and Espen fight hard to achieve their heart’s desire!
