A runaway bride. A feared sea captain. A false marriage that becomes dangerously real.
Inga Hrolfsdottir refuses to become a pawn in a political betrothal. Her escape carries her onto the ship of Rurik Eiriksson, the hard-edged Norse captain known as the Sea Wolf. His protection has a price: she must pose as his wife until he can uncover who is stealing Orkney’s tribute.
Storms, suspicion, and a fortified island leave them with nowhere to hide from their enemies—or from the fierce attraction between them.
As the conspiracy closes in, their careful bargain turns into devotion.
But claiming a real future together means defying the powerful men who intended to own them both.
A steamy, standalone fake-marriage Viking romance with forced proximity, danger at sea, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
