The Viking's Widow
Alexandra Noir

Annalise's arranged marriage to Viking leader Egil ends before it begins when a fierce storm claims his life during their voyage to Norway. Left widowed and destitute in a harsh foreign land, she struggles to survive among people who see her as nothing more than a Scottish outsider.
But Sigurd, Egil's most trusted companion, has been watching from the shadows. The golden-haired warrior who first suggested her as a bride harbors feelings he's tried to deny—and desires he's afraid to unleash. When he finally takes her in from the cold, Annalise discovers why this powerful man has remained alone.
Sigurd's passion runs dark and demanding. He craves control, dominance, the sweet surrender of a woman beneath his hands. He's kept his distance to protect her from his nature, but Annalise refuses to be saved from something she desperately wants to explore.
In the flickering firelight of his home, two lonely souls will discover that sometimes the most dangerous storms happen behind closed doors. And sometimes, surrendering to the tempest is the only way to find shelter.
