The Lords of the Wind

$19.99

“If you want to sit down with an extremely well-researched tale involving heroic battles, first loves, and the making of a legend, this book is for you.” – The Historical Novel Society.
“For indeed the Frankish nation, which was crushed by the avenger Hasting, was full of filthy uncleanness. Treasonous and oathbreaking, they were justly condemned; unbelievers and faithless, they were justly punished.” — Dudo of St. Quentin, Gesta Normannorum
Orphaned by blood feud and sold into slavery, the boy called Hasting should have perished nameless. Instead, a ship captain named Eilif frees him and awakens something fierce inside him. With his new crew, he will learn the ways of the Vikings and travel to far-off lands, where, as fate would have it, he will meet his first love.
But when that love is stolen from him by his own people, he turns to wrath. Hasting’s search for justice becomes a voyage across pagan and Christian worlds, where questions of faith and culture collide with vengeance, and a darker self begins to rise. With every battle won, the wolf within him grows stronger.
His is the story of a man who was a slave, who became a Viking, and who helped to topple an empire.
Inspired by the true exploits of the warlord Hasting, The Lords of the Wind opens a sweeping saga of transformation: the forging of a Viking warrior, the awakening of his shadow, and the long road toward reclaiming the light he lost.

The Empress and Her Wolf

$19.99

Power. Revenge. Forbidden love in the heart of a dying empire.
When Viking warlord Hasting arrives at the gates of Constantinople, he knows he can’t conquer it. Not with deeds of arms alone. But fate has other plans.
His failed raid turns into an opportunity: serve Empress Theodora as her sword-for-hire. Hasting quickly proves himself more capable than the generals she no longer trusts. But the empire is a viper’s nest of betrayal, and when an attempt to scare off his men ends in the death of his lover, Hasting’s mission changes.
He came for wealth and glory. Now, he wants blood.
But revenge in Miklagard is no simple feat. The city runs on whispers, not war cries. Enemies hide behind silks and smiles. And as Hasting grows closer to the empress—ally, ruler, and eventually lover—he finds himself torn between love and vengeance.
One wrong move could cost him everything.
Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, Peter Gibbons, and Conn Iggulden, The Empress and Her Wolf is a heart-pounding saga of war, loyalty, and ambition set against the glittering, dangerous world of the Byzantine Empire.

Tease Me, Doc

$19.99

She never wanted a bodyguard. He never wanted a heart. Fate hands them both.

Evie Hathaway never expected to need a bodyguard. She is not famous or wealthy, only a quiet beekeeper in rural Washington. But her rare Rh null blood has made her the target of a dark web competition, and when she is attacked during a routine venom delivery, her world collapses. To her horror, the assault is witnessed by Dr Benjamin Frost, and neither man is willing to let her walk back into danger alone. Evie leaves the encounter with a reluctant doctor-turned-bodyguard, and the only thing more alarming than the threats around her is how infuriatingly attractive he is.

Dr Benjamin Frost does not babysit. The ex-military physician lives by precision, control and emotional distance. Yet Evie Hathaway dismantles every barrier he has built. Her stubborn independence, her lavender-sweet warmth and her ability to attract chaos as easily as she attracts bees pull him into a deadly chase he cannot ignore. Protecting her should be simple. Neutralise the threats. Wait for backup.

Instead, Frost finds himself living on her chaotic farm, guarding her day and night while fighting a growing desire that feels far more dangerous than any enemy. Keeping her alive is one thing. Protecting his own heart may be impossible.

Tease Me, Doc is Book Four in the Kiss-Met Series, a dangerous, tender, slow-burn bodyguard romance filled with forced proximity, intimacy lessons, grumpy sunshine banter, and a heroine who discovers she is worth protecting.

Dan needs this project to go perfectly for reasons he won’t explain, but impressing Rebecca again is a bonus he’s more than happy to pursue. Determined to prove he’s no longer the cocky heart-breaker she remembers, he throws himself into the assignment, and into her orbit.

From chaotic market negotiations to unexpected moments beneath glittering desert skies, their reluctant teamwork turns into something dangerously close to chemistry. But with corporate pressures mounting and the past threatening to resurface, success suddenly feels more complicated than either of them planned.

As Morocco works its magic, Rebecca and Dan must choose: keep their relationship strictly professional, or take a chance on something that could change both their lives, and careers, forever.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs are the ones you never see coming.
