Diana Markovic flees California after a devastating betrayal by her ex-fiancé and his scheming family in Australia. When her flight encounters disaster and crash-lands in a remote Viking settlement, she collides with Hugh Mikhail—a dangerously attractive, unpredictable descendant whose arrogance matches his raw magnetism. Their combustible connection ignites between Viking traditions and modern passion. In a parallel tale of opposites, sweet Livia discovers whether genuine tenderness can melt the icy resolve of the brutish Demetrio. When she first glimpses him—a towering figure radiating raw power, muscles straining against his carelessly unbuttoned shirt, tousled brown hair framing a face carved from stone—her pulse quickens. His dark, piercing gaze and commanding presence promise both danger and irresistible allure.
