Viking Historical Romance
The Monk She Bought
She bought a monk to keep her ledgers. She never meant to want the man.
Iceland, AD 935. Widowed before her first winter alone, chieftain's widow Jorunn Steinarsdottir buys a captive Irish monk at the autumn slave-market — a scribe to untangle her dead husband's debts and teach her letters. Brother Ciaran prays only for the ransom that will carry him home. But night after lamplit night, the lessons stray from wax tablets into confessions neither his vows nor her rank permit.
When her husband's ambitious brother arrives to claim her hand — and her hall with it — every hour with her thrall becomes evidence against her. And on the night the pretense of pupil and teacher finally burns away, the ransom silver arrives to buy Ciaran back.
Jorunn learns the hardest lesson of the North: love held by ownership is no love at all. Only a free man's staying means anything.
A scorching, open-door Viking romance of forbidden vows, fierce widows, and the price of freedom.
Perfect for fans of Johanna Lindsey and Sierra Simone.
