If you love historical romance this is the series for you.
In the author's own words "Norway IS the new Scotland!" No Kilts for these heroes. Big, blond, buff and beautiful,with eyes the color of seawater; the blood of their Viking ancestors flowing through their veins. (These stories are based in the 1300's through 1800's time period).
