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.

Medana had naught to due with this gods-awful plan, but she wouldn't mind reaping the benefits. Wed or bed…this Viking has plans of his own.

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.
