The Chieftain’s Bride
by Kate Hill
Historical Romance
Marion of Ravenhill was a pawn in a warrior’s world, promised to the Viking raider, Wyborn, for his fierce protection of the British shoreline. She vowed he would never have her heart, but from the moment they meet, the attraction between them is nearly overwhelming.
Excerpt:
Awakening to the rumble of thunder, Marion’s gaze riveted to the tall silhouette by the fire.
“Wyborn!” She smiled, throwing off the covers and hurrying to join him.
Not caring that he was soaked to the skin from the storm, she leapt into his arms and buried her face in his cold neck. She shuddered as rain seeped beneath her robe.
“I didn’t think you’d come tonight. It’s so late and the weather is terrible.”
“As if a little rain would keep me from you for another day.” He kissed her before peeling off the remainder of his wet clothes and stood naked before her. Soaked strands of thick blond hair clung to his neck and shoulders. When she placed her hands on his chest, she felt him shivering slightly.
“You must be freezing. I’ll make you a hot drink.”
“You’re all the heat I need.” He grasped her arms and kissed her deeply.
Sliding her robe off her shoulders, he let the fabric pool at their feet and pressed her naked body to his. His hands slid down her back and grasped her buttocks while his tongue explored her mouth.
