Publisher Description
A Danish warrior. A Saxon lady who detests him. A love that will surprise them both...
Act like a lady, think like a Viking...
Lady Tilda of Skarsmore has supervised the fyrd and the farms of her manor without the interference of a man for three years, but then King Alfred of Wessex gifts her lands to a marauding Dane in return for peace. She vows the Viking will never take possession of what is hers. Even if she has to bend the truth, fight dirty...and pretend she's not wildly attracted to the marauder in question.
But don't fall for a Viking...
When Soren Guthredson arrives at his new manor to take possession, the full force of Lady Tilda's beauty literally knocks him off his horse. But he can't possibly fall for her. She's a Saxon, after all, and not to mention, at three-and twenty, she's positively ancient. Still, he pledges she can stay on at Skarsmore as long as she needs, not realizing it may be the greatest mistake he's ever made...or perhaps his wisest decision ever.
Unless he is willing to sacrifice all for you...
But Skarsmore is the most prosperous holding in Wessex, and Soren and Tilda aren't the only ones vying for its possession. The lady and the Dane have common enemies. They wait in the shadows, biding their time until Skarsmore is left weakened by their constant bickering. Will Tilda and Soren prove them wrong? Will they realize they are stronger together than they could ever be apart? Will this Saxon noblewoman find not just her lands...but her heart...Stolen by the Viking?

Stolen By The Viking
The battle of wits between Soren & Tilda made me laugh numerous times. Truly enjoyed this Viking tale!
I noticed the next book about Wulf & Astrid is not available in this bookstore, I’m hoping it will be available. I would enjoy reading their story.
Not enough research!
I am Danish and thought it would be fun to read about a Danish Viking.
I was rather disappointed in the lack of research used before writing this novel. The names! Soren, which is actually spelled Søren, which btw completely changes the pronunciation (put it into one of those things that read a word up for you, and you may be able to hear how the letter ø/ö is pronounced. But the name Søren is a more modern version. In 800/900 it would most probably have been Severin, from Latin Severinius! which means strict. Back then the names of the Danish (and Swedish and Norwegian) Vikings were anglicized, true enough,and Søren “would”have become Soren , in the same way as King Knud became King Canute, because the British are incapable of saying the KN sound (like knife)
But as the name would have been Severin, or Severinius……..
Then there’s one of his men…called Dagmar! The name is used all over Scandinavia and Germany other Eastern European countries. But most popular in Denmark. But, it a girls name!!! GIRLS NAME! Most famous person is Queen Dagmar of Denmark! Look her up! She is worthy of writing books about! It is most certainly NOT a man’s name! Never was!
It’s all information that is easily available on the internet.
I know these books are fiction! But most authors who write historical fiction still do research to make it fit in with the historical context. As a Dane myself, I always get so annoyed when non-Danes get our historie, culture…or names…wrong!
Just like it annoys me when companies want to make their brand names stand out and use’s Danish letters. Did you know that the energy drink Monster…they have added the danish ø even though it looks a bit different. But now the word becomes mønster, which means pattern I laugh every time I sees it…pattern just doesn’t give quite the same feel
