Viking Brides Series by Christine Rimmer

THERE'S A... VIKING IN MY LIVING ROOM! Elli Thorson, displaced Nordic princess, was used to an occasional reminder of where she came from. But even she was surprised at the sight of the handsome if hulking man in her apartment. He said he'd come by order of her father, the king -- to bring Elli home by any means possible. And though she didn't want to go, the idea of a journey with this "warrior" was strangely appealing.. moreTHERE'S A... VIKING IN MY LIVING ROOM! Elli Thorson, displaced Nordic princess, was used to an occasional reminder of where she came from. But even she was surprised at the sight of the handsome if hulking man in her apartment. He said he'd come by order of her father, the king -- to bring Elli home by any means possible. And though she didn't want to go, the idea of a journey with this "warrior" was strangely appealing... Hauk FitzWyborn, the king's right-hand man, knew what His Royal Highness really wanted from his daughter -- to marry the man who would be king. And that man was most assuredly not Hauk, he knew, even as he struggled to resist the beautiful princess. Still, as her loveliness reminded him, they were in California now -- where even the wildest dreams could come true... less

Princess Liv Thorson honestly believed she could skulk back to America, her uncharacteristic night of passion a secret known only to a sympathetic sister...and the Viking prince who possessed her underlisse. Then came the baby trifecta--woozy tummy, fainting spell, rash--telltale signs that she and Finn Danelaw had made a lot more than love.... Finn Danelaw was used to hearing all kinds of utterances from women, but "no" wasn't usually among them... morePrincess Liv Thorson honestly believed she could skulk back to America, her uncharacteristic night of passion a secret known only to a sympathetic sister...and the Viking prince who possessed her underlisse.

Finn Danelaw was used to hearing all kinds of utterances from women, but "no" wasn't usually among them.

For the test results, that is. The pregnancy test... less

"WHEN NEXT I SEE THIS MEDALLION, IT WILL BE AROUND THE NECK OF MY BETROTHED." With those words, originally uttered by his father, Prince Eric Greyfell dismissed Brit Thorson's theory about the mysterious medallion she thought she was given for luck. But she knew he was correct. For the man who stood before her was not only her temptation -- he was her destiny. Eric knew that Brit was the woman he was destined to spend eternity with... more"WHEN NEXT I SEE THIS MEDALLION, IT WILL BE AROUND THE NECK OF MY BETROTHED." With those words, originally uttered by his father, Prince Eric Greyfell dismissed Brit Thorson's theory about the mysterious medallion she thought she was given for luck. But she knew he was correct. For the man who stood before her was not only her temptation -- he was her destiny. Eric knew that Brit was the woman he was destined to spend eternity with. Now if he could just put an end to her incessant questions! For she was sure that she had seen him with her "dead" brother, Prince Valbrand -- a man whose status Eric had vowed never to reveal.

Yet Valbrand, whose face -- not to mention spirit -- had taken a serious hit from the assassination attempt that had driven him underground, was sworn to spend all the rest of his days hunting down the enemies who had done this to him.
