The Viking's Heartwish

A half-naked Viking, with horned Brunhilda-helmet, sword and shield, is the last thing Delaney Kullerton expects to find on her doorstep.

Introducing himself in broken English, he claims he's Varik the Bold and he's come to play. Stunned to hear the name of her lifelong secret fantasy Viking, Delaney knows Varik is sent by heaven. Well, more accurately, by her dearly departed grandma's estate, via a male escort service.

One year ago to the day, Delaney's professor husband dumped her for one of his grad students. The timely arrival of the rugged Norwegian confirms Grandma must have instructed her attorney to ensure Delaney isn't alone and grieving again on her birthday.

Not about to belittle her grandmother's final parting gift by rejecting this sinfully sexy man chosen to provide her with a prepaid night of bliss, Delaney invites him in. Varik, and their time together, is glorious. Sensational. Perfect. Until a horrendous series of misunderstandings leaves Delaney utterly mortified.

Protecting her heart, she packs her bags and moves across the country to her grandmother's enchanting cottage on the Oregon coast, tucking her precious memories of Varik the Bold away, consigning them to her innermost fantasies.

Varik, however, has entirely different ideas, implementing them with a helpful touch of magic from Norse god Odin's heartwish ring.

Heartwishes, Book 1: Straitlaced trusting heroine, hot endearing hero, loveable troublemaking dog, heart-melting misunderstandings, abundant humor, a pair of angels, and a magical sigh-worthy wish. This guaranteed HEA romcom can be read as a standalone.
