Loyalty to the Brotherhood comes before all. Including women.

Formidable Viking leader Rurik knows the law. His loyalty to the Forgotten Sons is his bond, and no woman will threaten what he’s built from the ground up. But the Sons are a roving band of Vikings, and Rurik is growing restless—so when Normandy’s chieftain offers land, the proposal intrigues him. And the sultry Parisian thrall he finds in his tent intrigues him even more…

Safira is cunning and clever and full of secrets. Rurik’s men have no interest in securing her safe passage home, but, piqued with lust, Rurik views Safira’s wiles as a captivating challenge—one he’s determined to conquer, even if lying with her is as defiant as it is inevitable.

Traveling with Safira has been a fantasy come true—what started as lust is quickly turning to the kind of partnership Rurik could never have dreamed. But their arrival in foreign lands marks a new chapter, one that demands a Viking wife. With impossible decisions to be made, Rurik’s alliances are fraying, and past promises may not be enough to save him from having to betray those he’s sworn loyalty to—including Safira.

Safira set a hand on his heart. She had to feel it thumping hard. Intimacy with a woman was a new, fragile thread working its way into his life weave. Did the Norns laugh at the gruff son of Birka letting a highborn daughter of Paris tether his heart?
“I want your kisses. I want your naked skin rubbing mine. I want to feel what happens when your fingers are inside of me. And—” The line of her throat bumped with a fragile swallow “—I want to feel your flesh slide inside of me.”
His chest swelled. Her last words were said more firmly than the rest. Very definitive his Paris maid.
Her chin dipped and furrow pressed deeper between her brows. Something chipped away at Safira’s confidence. “You would not get as much gold for my safe return. But you would still get a reward.” She paused. “This would be acceptable?”
Guilt was icy chips on his skin. His hand fell from its tender stroke on her jaw. “What if I don’t give you back, Safira? What if I keep you forever?”

When an outcast goes home and meets a woman seeking justice, hearts will clash…

Eighteen years ago, Bjorn was exiled from Vellefold. Honor-bound to return, he’ll fight for the settlement…then walk away. First, he must work with his childhood friend, now a beautiful, high-ranking Viking lady.

Fierce of spirit, Ilsa will do anything to save her people, including convincing the banished son to take the jarl’s seat. But she has her doubts about the stone-hearted Viking, despite the lust between them. It’s only a matter of time before Bjorn discovers that Ilsa is hiding dangerous secrets, secrets that may jeopardize all they’ve worked for.

When the darkest hour comes, the once-rejected warrior must choose: rescue his men, the Forgotten Sons—or Ilsa, the woman he craves, body and soul.

Cold air nipped. Snow began to fall, white specks, dancing, twirling. The enemy could be watching, but he was useless to lift a finger. He needed Ilsa in his arms…to brace himself against rushing emotions, of being fearless and strong, vulnerable and claimed by a woman.
“We never have time alone,” he said, rubbing the small of her back.
Ilsa answered with a moan. Nestling against him, she clutched a handful of his mantle as if she wouldn’t let go.
Breathing sharp, wintry air…this satisfied him.
Night was peaceful save the barest breeze cutting through branches. He stilled when her forehead grazed his beard. Her nose skimmed his neck. His huntress scented him.
Why hadn’t they done this days ago?
“Please, stay,” she whispered “Think of the good you can do.”
Cold shock splashed him. He grabbed her shoulders and put some air between them. He nearly groaned at her lips parting and the pink tip of her tongue snaking out to wet them. When her eyes opened, the center of both were dark and liquid. True sensuality. Nothing forced. She might want him in body, but she implored on behalf of Vellefold.
Truth gutted him.
The settlement came first for her. The Sons came first for him. He squeezed Ilsa’s shoulders, unable to set her aside.
Want me! rang in his head but out came, “You wouldn’t like me as jarl.”
If he didn’t take the jarl’s mantle, who would?

Cold. Precise. Savage. Erik, the dark Viking, makes one costly mistake. The jarl decrees that Erik must work for a trouble-plagued farmer and his daughter, Katla. To ensure Erik stays, the jarl orders him to wear a ball and chain all summer.

Katla doesn't want Erik in her home, but she's drawn to the brooding warrior... as he is to her gentle spirit—but Katla's promised to another man. The Viking warrior must decide to fight for the one woman to touch his heart or lose a chance at love forever.
