Today I’m sharing an excerpt from my latest release Northman’s Passion. This story has been out of print for several years, and I truly loved working on the revisions for it as well as the re-edits for the sequel Northman’s Pleasure that is scheduled for release on March 1st. Revisiting Erik, Bera, Grim, Asgerd, and others was a lot of fun for me. I’m planning a story about Erik and Grim’s clumsy but powerful cousin Thorkel, as well.
I hope you have a fantastic Sunday!

Excerpt:
Bera’s face heated, not because his naked state embarrassed her, but because she wished the water wasn’t quite so deep.
It took her a moment to realize this water-slicked brother of Thor was actually Erik.
“I thought you didn’t like him?” Helga whispered, a knowing grin on her thin lips.
“I told you why I felt that way,” Bera replied, irritated not only at the old woman’s teasing but at her own desire. The last thing she wanted was to give Erik the satisfaction of admiring him like a lovesick maiden. Unfortunately that’s exactly what she’d done.
Even now he wore a smug grin. His teeth gleamed against his dark beard, which was neatly groomed, complete with two long, slender braids amidst the loose, dark hair.
“I see you got my clothes,” he said.
Curling her lip, Bera threw them on the muddy ground at the edge of the creek.
