Viking I

Even fierce Norse warriors have bad days.'Twas enough to drive a sane Viking mad, the things Tykir Thorksson was forced to do-capturing a red-headed virago, putting up with the flock of sheep that follows her everywhere, chasing off her bumbling brothers.

If that wasn't bad enough, Tykir was beginning to realize he wasn't at all immune to the enchantment of brash red hair and freckles. Perhaps he could reverse the spell and hold her captive, not with his mighty sword, but with a Viking man's greatest magic: a wink and a smile.

A Viking to bed, not to wed! Medana Elsadottir, known as the Sea Scourge, never planned to become a pirate, but there's no denying her talent. Her female-only tribe has an island hideaway, food aplenty, goods to trade…everything except the means to breed. That's where the strapping Norsemen tied up in her ship's hold come in handy. Eight godly specimens-and Thork Tykirrson is the most virile of them all. Once their, eh, work is done, they'll be free to leave.

No one takes anything from a Viking that he's not willing to give...not even a violet-eyed vixen who sets off the wildest fantasies.

For even the most virile Viking must eventually leave his best buddy behind and do battle with that most fearsome of all opponents-the love of his life.

In the end, he'll bring the witchling to heel, or die trying. Mayhap, he'll even beg her to wed . . . so long as she can promise he'll no longer be . . .
