Forbidden Viking - Paperback

An Arabian Princess tastes freedom...

When Samara Abbasid's ship is attacked she throws herself overboard and seeks refuge in the Viking Jarldom of Gottland. Claiming to be merely a scribe, she temporarily escapes her life of duty and expectation, and is free to sample the Vikings ways. She finds them as seductive as the strong Jarl, Valen. However, if Valen discovers her royal status he could use her as leverage in his trade negotiations with her father, the powerful Caliph. Worse, she must soon return to the royal court and her upcoming arranged marriage. But once she's tasted forbidden pleasure will she be able to return to a life of duty...?

A Jarl bound by duty...

The most powerful Viking clans are assembling on the isle of Gottland to celebrate Valen Eriksson's ascension to Jarl. So Valen is furious to discover rogue Vikings have raided in his territory. Now he must serve swift justice and protect the mysterious survivor until he can return her the Abbasid Caliph. The last thing he needs is to be tempted by the alluring scribe, not when he's sworn to choose a bride from an allied Viking clan. His duty is clear, yet his heart yearns...
