Description:
Lauren
refuses to believe that her sisters traveled back in time to
tenth-century Scandinavia. Cybil must be off doing one thing or
another. And what of Samantha? She returned then vanished again with
a bunch of uncivilized ruffians who called themselves Vikings. While
thankful the crude men finally left, she’s now caught in an unusual
situation. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot step foot outside
her Winter Harbor chalet.
Desperate
to return to the twenty-first century and figure out why he and
Lauren were cursed by a Nidstang, Tait Sigdir struggles with what
feels like half a soul. But that’s not all. When he finally returns
to the future, he realizes how troubling things really are. Though
drawn to Shannon, he can’t seem to stay away from her sister,
Lauren. Hard to believe considering how difficult she is to be
around. Even for a flirt like him. Yet if he’s not near her, he
becomes uncharacteristically sullen.
Caught
in an unraveling hex that steers them closer to the enemy, Tait and
Lauren are forced on an adventure that tests them in more ways than
one. Friendship emerges. Passion ignites. Even so, love does not come
so easily to those who are cursed. As it turns out, they must get
through a whirlwind of unfortunate events that will either bring them
together or drive them further apart.
Excerpt:
“Who
goes there?” came an all-too-familiar voice from the door.
Lauren
sighed and called out. “It is none of your concern, Tait.”
Evidently,
he thought differently because seconds later he entered, a frown on
his face as his eyes swept around the lodge. “I heard a man in
here.”
“It
was just Einar,” she began, her words trailing off as she gestured
towards him only to find he’d vanished.
Tait’s
brows slammed together. “Einar? I do not know that name.”
“He
was just right here,” she murmured, glancing at the rear door. “He
must have slipped out the back.”
“Nobody
has come or gone since your sisters left,” Tait said, troubled.
“I
can assure you they did. A woman then a man. Einar.” She folded her
hands in front of her and focused on the bigger problem. “You had
no right to barge in here. Please leave.”
“Actually
I had every right.” He continued eying the place looking for Einar.
“This is my lodge, woman.”
His
lodge? How unfortunate. “My name is Lauren.”
Tait
shrugged as an annoying grin tugged at his lips. Apparently, he was
done searching out another man. He gestured at the water. “You
will bathe then join your sisters in the main lodge, yes?”
“That
was the plan, yes,” she allowed.
“Then
please,” he headed for the corner table, “do not let me disturb
you.”
She
frowned as he filled a mug with what appeared to be ale. “What are
you doing?”
He
gave the mug a pointed look. “Drinking.”
“Then
please do so outside.”
“But
this is my lodge.”
“Then
I will need another lodge.”
“No.”
Tait shook his head. “I can only be so far away from you and will
sleep nowhere but here.”
Her
eyes widened. “We are not sleeping in the same room.”
“We
will if we have to.” He gestured at the tub again. “Right now you
do not need to worry about sleeping but bathing.”
Lauren
inhaled deeply and remained calm. “As much as you would probably
enjoy it, I am not bathing with you here.”
“Well,
I am not leaving because whether or not I saw anyone enter, I heard a
man in here. So I will not leave you alone.” He considered her
before he murmured something and a tall screen appeared in front of
the tub. “There. Now I will not be tempted by you, woman.” He
removed his fur, plunked down and narrowed his eyes at her when she
narrowed her eyes on him. “Now I can focus my thoughts on Shannon.”
Lauren
ignored her strong reaction to his words and smoothed her expression.
Regardless, there was no controlling the flare of defiance that
screamed inside her. A defiance that had her doing the last thing she
intended. Something she found extremely appalling and would never
normally do. Something she would judge harshly if she saw another
woman do it. Especially one who was married.
She
tested his resolve about Shannon as she held his eyes and took her
time stripping down before she sauntered around the screen and got
into the tub.
