Description:
Amber
is heartbroken. Supposedly because of a pact made between three ninth
century Viking brothers and Mt. Galdhøpiggen’s seers, her sisters
have vanished into the distant past. Struggling with grief, she leans
on her part-time fling Sean until even he is torn away. Or so it
seems.
Of
dragon blood and brother to the king, Kol Sigdir ‘the lucky’ has
been determined to avoid his fate since the moment he promised
himself, sight unseen, to a woman from the future. He adores all
women and it’s no easy thing knowing he has to eventually pledge
his heart to just one…until he meets Amber. A spirited artist and
musician, she captivates him. When she offers him a soul-deep glimpse
at what was missing from his life, he soon wonders how he will ever
be able to let her go.
As
Kol and Amber grow closer, they face multiple threats. Eager for
revenge, King Alrek declares war. To make matters worse, he has an
ally nobody could have anticipated. One determined to see everything
come to an end.
Hearts
struggle, rip apart, and then are rebuilt when the laws of time are
tossed aside. A thousand years means nothing when two star-crossed
souls are meant to connect. Even so, will the strength of love be
enough to withstand a powerful enemy and bridge a gap across time
already closed?

Excerpt:
After
receiving another horn of ale, Kol leaned back and eyed Amber with
amusement as she stopped in front of the men playing bodhran drums.
Unlike her sisters, she seemed to be embracing their society right
away or so said the slow sway of her hips. Fortunately, the fires
kept it warm enough that she’d removed her cloak, giving him and
every other man a pleasurable view of her backside.
And
just like him, there was nothing but lust in their eyes.
He
didn’t recognize the low growl in his chest and had no idea he was
heading in her direction until he was halfway there. Her sisters
might be a solid wall of protection around Amber but far too many men
were contemplating a way past them. Even with the potential wrath of
the king and Raknar coming down on them, several clearly thought the
loot well worth the inevitable punishment.
She
must have said something about the instrument because Kol had nearly
reached Amber when one of the men stopped playing his drum and handed
it to her. Red dragon haze skirted the corners of his vision when the
musician wrapped his arms around her from behind. Though he was only
showing her how to use the drum, Kol also knew he was just as aroused
as the men now forming a circle around her.
A
dagger at the ready, he stopped beside her sisters and glared at any
man willing to meet his eyes…which were few. No, they weren’t
just lusting but downright enchanted by Amber. Even his eyes were
snagged from protecting her when warm laughter bubbled up from her
chest. She tossed her hair over a shoulder and winked at the man
behind her. Arms crossed over his chest, Kol was impressed with how
smoothly she kept the musician from pressing too close while
simultaneously making him feel like the world revolved around him.
He
had never seen anything quite like it.
From
a woman that is.
Hel,
Amber maneuvered a man nearly as well as Kol maneuvered a woman.
And
that’s precisely what they did. Made the opposite sex feel special
until they tired and moved on to the next. But Kol would bet that
like him, she rarely left a man lacking. If anything, she left them
happier than they were prior.
“I
knew it wouldn’t take her long to make herself at home,” Megan
murmured and bumped shoulders with him. “Put away the dagger,
Champ. She’ll be all right.”
“I’m
sure she will.” But he didn’t put away the dagger. Better that
his fellowmen see his intentions…or at least that she was under his
protection. Yet even as he tried to keep his attention on the
bastards around her, he soon became as enamored as the rest when she
held the crossbar beneath with expertise and started playing the
drum. She had a way of moving her hand in such a way that the sound
made the listener feel the passion within her.
Incredible
passion.
Blatant
sensuality.
The
woman possessed a natural eroticism that simmered beneath the surface
of every move she made. Kol watched the speed and roll of her hand,
imagining that same hand playing his body with as much talent and
hunger. Because there was a definite hunger in the sound she created.
One that originated in the depths of her soul. A soul that felt
things far more deeply than most.
Though
Kol narrowed his eyes at the man behind her, he didn’t need to.
Amber was handling him perfectly as she pulled away and nodded her
thanks. Then her eyes met the women playing the pipes and she offered
a dazzling smile as they caught her beat.
Captivated,
he couldn’t decide which part of her he wanted to eye more. Her
animated face, the way her hand deftly worked the instrument or the
sway of her lovely hips as she moved in synchronization to the beat
she created.
