Eire’s
Viking
Eire’s
Viking Trilogy, Book Two
By:
Sandi Layne
Blurb
Beginning
ten years after the end of Éire’s Captive Moon, this is the story
of how Agnarr Halvardson returns to Éire with the intention of
settling there, marrying, and siring sons.
It is
also the story of Aislinn, who was a child in Ragor when the Northmen
raided eleven summers prior but is now a working physician in her own
right. She spent a year in Bangor Monastery and became a Christian
before Cowan and Charis returned to take the children to Cowan’s
village in the kingdom of Dál Fiatach and returns there a decade
later to finish learning all she can from the monks about their
healing practices.
When
Cowan brings her a patient, injured and temporarily unable to speak,
she can’t help but find the strong, tall man attractive, even if
such feelings unsettle her.
Although
sparks fly immediately, Agnarr’s idea of wedding Aislinn—the
physician who heals him when he is injured—is hampered by many
factors, including language and cultural differences. There is also
the matter that he is the man who kidnapped and enslaved Charis years
before.
Believing
strongly that God gave Agnarr to her as a patient, though, Aislinn
does her best. Her knowledge of who he is wars with her unwilling
attraction to him. That he makes his interest in her clear doesn’t
help, as he goes so far as to seek her father’s permission to wed
her. Can she forgive him for what he did to her village? Can she love
him if she does? And will she be willing to accept a life at Agnarr’s
side even if he does not love her?
Meanwhile,
other raiders from the North come to Éire’s green coasts. Pledging
his loyalty to the new king, Muiredach of Dál Fiatach, Agnarr
prepares to defend his new home.

Info
I was
born in Southern California in the 1960′s – yes, I’m a
California Girl! Though I have lived in Arizona and Florida and
now reside in Maryland, I still carry my linguistic roots and
occasionally drag out my inner Valley Girl. With a bit of
“y’all” and “hon” additions for good measure.
Married
for more than twenty years to an amazing guy, I have two sons. My
elder is officially an adult and my younger is eleven. I have one
degree in English and one in Ministry, and I claim Theology’s
crimson Master’s collar, too. My employment has spanned a vast
spectrum, but now I prefer to work at home.
I
spend my days writing books and short stories, and even some
fanfiction from time to time, deriving inspiration from Pride
and Prejudice, True Grit and The Last of the Mohicans. If
I’m not writing, I’m probably editing something or catching up
with my favorite shows on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Reading is a
given. I think I’m on my third Kindle, now, and I still have
hundreds of paperbacks and numerous bookshelves.

Teaser;
He
gripped her wrist, surrounding it entirely in his palm while he
stared at her. His jaw worked but no sounds came out, save a
frustrated grunt.
Concern
cooled the blood rushing to her cheeks and she tried to cover her
embarrassment by sniffing and pulling his head down to check his
bandaging. Both hands bracketing his head, she puffed out a breath
and found the edges of the linen. Before she could untuck the closing
end of the fabric, though, she felt his eyes on her and swallowed.
“Northman?”
The
bright blue of his gaze was suddenly hot. Hot and filled with
something that made her stomach flutter as if occupied by a tiny
bird. She felt drawn into his eyes, frozen as his hands came up her
arms, the fingertips resting just under the short sleeve of her
léine. Her own fingertips trembled against his bandaging and his
expression shifted in a way she couldn’t define, exactly. Blushing,
she decided to pretend that she wouldn’t be thinking about that
look all day and shook her head to make the idle idea go away.
