The Viking's Touch

His old life shattered, Wulfgar Ragnarsson lives only for the moment, cheating death and growing rich as a legendary mercenary. His heart may be frozen, but his desire burns hot for courageous widow Lady Anwyn, who needs his protection….

When a violent North Sea gale cripples his warship, Wulfgar puts in at an isolated English bay to mend a broken rudder.

Behind the spiked pale of Beranhold, a predatory neighbour schemes to seize her fertile estate through a forced alliance. Gold alone brought his seasoned crew to her aid, yet a fierce loyalty soon binds him to the young widow and her five-year-old son.

Bartering an earldom for seasoned warriors, she proposes a marriage in name only to keep Drakensburgh secure. Wedded to bar her enemies, she discovers a gentle protector beneath his mail—even as dangerous ambitions close in from every side.

For the safety of her son, Anwyn will risk everything. Even giving herself to a Viking warrior who teaches her not all men are monsters—although he shows little sign that he will ever again be capable of love.

Facing Lord Ingvar’s ruthless ambitions, Anwyn must place her fortress in the hands of a warrior who claims he has no heart left to lose.
