A Viking in New York (ePub)

A steamy time travel romance novella.

After a series of dating disasters, Karina Martinez swears off dating younger guys. Her new philosophy is put to the ultimate test, however, when she buys a Viking amulet from a thrift store and accidentally summons fierce warrior Eirik Bjørnson, and his dog Ulf, from the year 973 to modern-day Manhattan. Surely an age gap of more than a thousand years would doom any romance? And yet, behind his hulking form and piercing, blue-eyed stare, Karina senses a tenderness she has never known from the modern men she's shared a bed with. Is it possible that Eirik was sent to her for a reason? Or is that just what she wants to believe?

Eirik Bjørnson doesn't know exactly how this beguiling sorceress, Karina has summoned him to her strange kingdom full of magic boxes that talk and metal chariots that need no beast to pull them. All he knows for certain is that when he first looked into her deep brown eyes, he sensed he was in the presence of his true shield maiden. Despite the woman's protests that their relationship is unworkable, Eirik cannot be swayed from his belief that she belongs to him. Especially as his dog, Ulf usually befriends no female and yet is both protective and doting of her. Regardless of what barriers she constructs, he vows she will be his for the keeping.

When Karina's friend Oliver who works at the Manhattan Museum of Natural History learns of Eirik's true heritage however, he kidnaps the Norse time-traveler in a bid to expose him to the media and go down in the history books. Can Karina save Eirik from becoming a real-life exhibit? Even if she does, how can the love she feels for him last when he belongs in another time?
