A stolen kiss triggers an ancient Norse handfasting bond between an ace computer hacker and an immortal Viking. Their attraction flares at inferno levels. But if neither yields, they’ll burn down the worlds of both humans and gods. Naya Brisbane escaped a covert training camp aimed at creating the ultimate soldier. Forced injections gave her superior cognitive abilities and physical strength, but put her brother into a coma. Desperate to finance a cure for him, Naya works as a cyber-security expert on the shady side of the law. Hunted by rogue agents who want her back in the lab, she should know better than to step in to help a handsome, tall blond defeat the sinister monsters that ambushed him. Immortal Viking Leif Skarsganger commands a unit of Odin's and Freya’s elite soldiers. When a mysterious dark-haired beauty helps defeat his enemies, he kisses her, inadvertently triggering his inner berserker to claim her as their mate. But the woman warrior disappears, and if Leif doesn’t find her quickly, he’ll succumb to permanent battle fury and become a danger to the very people he’s sworn to protect.
