Viking Historical Romance
The Span of a Tide
For three summers she counted his raven sail past her cove. Now the storm has beached him at her feet — and she has one tide to take what she wants.
Ranveig runs her dead father's shoreline trading-post alone, hard at a bargain because no one has ever bargained for her. When a gale drives a foreign captain's ship keel-first onto her shingle, she offers him a roof — and names her price in the same breath: one night of him, freely given, before the ebb frees his keel at dawn.
Eirik agrees too easily. He remembers nothing of the summers his sail passed her by; he sees only a lonely woman and a cheap deal. But when the truth of why she chose him spills out against his skin, the transaction breaks in both their hands — and the debt becomes a thing taken and given in equal measure, filthy and unhurried, bound only as long as the salt water holds him ashore.
Dawn comes with the ebb, and with a crew, a cargo, and an oath sworn in another harbour. Ranveig knows exactly what she bought — and she will not chase a promise past the waterline.
An explicit, single-sitting Viking romance for readers of Johanna Lindsey and Kathryn Le Veque.
