Book Description:
Vail Fillion has
left her home in Huntington Beach, California, to study Scandinavian Culture in
Oslo, Norway. But she gets her first real taste of culture shock when she goes
along with her friend Lisetta to a wild party at her cousin's biker bar. Vail
is surprised to find such a large group of motorcycle enthusiasts in this often
snow-bound country. She is even more stunned to discover that the bikers are
normal guys, if perhaps even more physically imposing than your average Viking.
Alreck Falstad--a 6'6" blond, tattooed stand-in for a Norse god--catches
her eye but also scares her to death.
Just as Vail is
starting to enjoy herself at the party, something truly frightening occurs. The
evening is abruptly cut short by a brutal crime, and she is the lone witness.
Before she can make it to the cops, Vail is drugged, loaded into Alreck's truck,
and transported to his remote cabin in the Lofoten Islands.
Why has Alreck
kidnapped her, and what are his plans for her in his snowy haven? Is he her
savior, her nemesis, or both? Even if she could escape, would she truly want
to?
Short
Excerpt:
Alreck hovers just outside the bathroom as I pull the door
open, his legs spread wide and his arms crossed in front of him in a dominant
stance. He watches me warily.
“Choose a drink,” he says before stepping out of the
doorframe.
“Go find my wallet and I will,” I sass back at him with hands
on my hips.
He leans down within inches of my face and says in a harsh
whisper, “Enough, woman. We’re not stopping again until the fuel runs out, so
pick something to drink or you’ll go without.”
Okay, what’s with the excessive
alpha-ness?
“Whatever.” I mumble to myself as I trudge past him and grab a
giant bottle of Voss water.
He slips the bottle from my fingers and stalks up to the
register to pay. I see that he’s also purchasing a coffee along with another
bottle of water. The forty-something female attendant bats her eyelashes at him
and giggles as she gives him the total. If he notices at all then he’s not
letting on. With his looks, women most likely hijack his cell on a regular
basis to program their digits into it for him. Ugh!
He takes my hand once again while carrying the bagged drinks
in the other. We rush through the bitter cold toward his truck and this time he
doesn’t attempt to help me get in.
It is a struggle to climb into the cab, but once I’m seated I
reach out and slam the door in his face, making certain that it’s left
unlocked.
Please let this
plan work.
My breathing is out of control as the adrenaline begins to
course through my veins.
I watch cautiously as he hauls his big frame up into the cab,
and just as he reaches into the bag of drinks I lurch my door back open and
jump down, falling hard onto my knees in the snow. It stings like a beast and I
bite back a groan as I lurch to my feet and begin to run back, hell bent,
toward the tiny store.
I ran track throughout college and know that I’m quick, but my
knees are killing me from the impact and the snowy ground is a far cry from a
proper track. When I’m halfway across the parking lot, someone passes me in a
sprint. Alreck?
Before my brain can register how to evade him, he turns around
and faces me with rage in his eyes before charging at me. He hauls me up and
over his giant shoulder before I can so much as pivot away from him.
Speechless, I look up in terror at the attendant who’s
watching us from inside the window in stunned surprise.
Like a complete Neanderthal, he locks a hold across my
suspended legs and prowls right back to the station. He says something to her
in Norwegian that, to my complete dismay, makes her laugh and wave to me as I’m
carried away.
“Call the …!” I wail, yet before I can complete the sentence a
hard slap lands without mercy right on my ass cheek, effectively silencing me
after I let out a startled, “Ooh!” as the burn spreads across my rear.
The attendant gives me cheeky smile. What did he say? She seems to have zero clue what I’m desperately
trying to convey to her.
I’m doomed.
Too frightened to struggle, I let my body go slack as I’m
carried to the truck.
