The Viking’s Forbidden Love-Slave

Some of you may remember several months ago I was working on what I thought would be a new book, set in Viking Ireland. I ended up using it for something else, and I thought I’d tell you about it, now that everything’s official (Leanne, this should answer your question).

Harlequin Historical is unveiling an exciting new program of e-books called Undone!. These are sexy, short stories that you can download to a reader or a cell phone and enjoy on your way to work or travelling, or whenever you like. The guidelines for the stories are here, if you’re interested.

My exciting news is that I will be one of the launch authors. The title of my e-book is The Viking’s Forbidden Love-Slave. It’s probably better than the title we, as a blog bunch, came up with back then (Sweet Savage Sven). And yes, I actually did submit it to my editor with that name.

Anyway, the book ties directly in with my November book, Her Warrior Slave. The story involves Kieran’s sister Aisling, who is taken by the Tharand Hardrata, a Viking warrior. He intends to exchange her for his sister’s freedom…but he doesn’t expect to fall in love with her. Hope you enjoy it! I’ll be hosting some contests a little closer to the release date, and if you’ve never tried an e-book before, you can see what you think!

I really did enjoy my trip to Boston. I’ll be posting photos and stories when I get back on Tuesday, but I wanted to leave you with a funny question my six-year-old asked. We were walking near one of the old churches, Saint Leonard’s, and my son pointed to a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Son: Is that Mrs. Christ?
Me: Huh? What do you mean?
Son: Well, Jesus’s last name is Christ. So that must make her Mrs. Christ.
