Book Description:
Taking a few months to reflect on
what she truly wants from life, Emily returns to her family home in Winter
Harbor, Maine. Yet she should have known her ties with ancient Scandinavia and
those with dragon blood would catch up with her. Moreover, that her connection
with the man she loves would be impossible to ignore. Something soon proven
when he pulls her back in time to tenth century Norway.
Determined to help his people
defeat a dark prophecy, Viking Sven Sigdir returns to his homeland to find two
regions minus their beloved kings. Leaderless, both clans look to Sven to rule.
Though willing to rise up, he must first uncover the root of the prophecy. That
means reuniting with the woman who holds his heart and setting forth on a perilous
journey.
Sven and Emily navigate not only
their feelings for one another but the burgeoning prophecy that might take it
all away. Will they be able to conquer their new adversary before it's too
late? Or is this just the beginning of something that will change life as they
know it? Find out in Viking King's Vendetta, an action-packed adventure ripe
with sizzling passion, epic battles, unexpected twists and memorable
characters.
Excerpt
1
“I need to go to
Sven.” She worked to remain strong and level, rather than let emotions get the
better of her. “How is he?”
“As to be
expected,” Samantha replied.
She knew full
well what ‘as to be expected’ meant when it came to Sven. He was somewhere
alone whittling wood deep in thought, not sharing a darn thing with anyone. So
imagine her surprise when they arrived, and she heard him roaring orders.
“Loki’s hell,”
she muttered before she sprinted through the village in his direction. She ran
past cottages with their long sloping roofs and a medieval society that had
long been her own. Though many murmured hello, there was no missing the somber
feel of the place.
Determined to at
least stop Sven’s ranting, she rushed in the front door of the main lodge and
stopped short. Though she had intended to race into his arms and hug him like
she had always done, she did nothing of the sort.
No, she just
stared at him.
Dressed in black
pants, heavy boots, and a black leather jerkin, he raked a hand through his
ebony hair as he paced. Though he had always been extraordinarily handsome, he
was more so now. Was he always so tall and broad? Did he always carry himself
with such confidence? His features had always been striking, but even they
seemed to have changed. Matured somehow into a face that made her breath catch
and her heart skip a beat.
His turbulent
cobalt blue eyes turned her way. “Emily.”
That was it.
That was all he said in a voice deeper than she recalled. But it was all she
needed to snap out of her reverie and fly into his arms despite the annoying
and very sudden shyness she felt. He didn’t say anything just wrapped her up in
his arms like he had always done. Yet, not surprisingly, even that felt
different. More encompassing.
That’s when she
realized she was home.
It wasn’t the
village or even the people but him. She pressed her cheek against his chest and
inhaled deeply. She had missed his scent. Spruce, and woodland. Him. Sven. Her
best friend.
“You are here,”
he finally murmured, clearly relieved as he cupped her cheeks then brushed his
lips across her forehead, just like he had always done. His eyes met hers. “I
was worried about you.”
“Me too…I was
worried…” She pressed her lips together, rallying her strength when she wanted
to sob in relief. Now wasn’t the time for that. Like Samantha said, he needed
her to be strong. That’s how they worked. If she was faltering, he was strong
for her and vice versa. That was their thing.
