About the book
WAVES OF RAPTURE Raven-haired Werona daughter of her Algonquin tribe's honored shaman, dreamed of love as she gathered roots and herbs for her father's medicines and seaweed for poultices. When she stumbled upon the body of a huge, blond warrior on the beach, Werona was tempted to run...but a healer's daughter does not turn away. Fusing her mouth to the handsome stranger's lips, she breathed the air of life into his lungs, happy to feel the spark of life within him. But as their breath mingled, another feeling overwhelmed her. The touch of his lips sent a path of fire all through her body. And when his blue eyes opened and he smiled at her, stroked her hair, and then drew her into his arms in a passionate embrace, Werona knew she was destined to find love in his caresses...whoever he might be! SHORES OF DESIRE Shipwrecked far from his nordic homeland, his sailing vessel blown off course many miles from Greenland, bold Viking warrior Rorik Wolframsion was the sole survivor of a fierce storm...and a stranger on an alien shore. When he first opened his eyes, Rorik thought he had died and gone to Valhalla. A bronze-skinned maiden with a curtain of long black hair was bending over him--and pressing her lips to his! As the touch of her soft hand fired his passion, Rorik knew he must possess her. He'd fight the whole tribe if he must, spirit the fair Indian girl away from these foreign shores, and sail away with her to the icy splendor of his Viking homeland, where their blazing passion would warm them in a lifetime of soaring ecstasy
