My plan when I became a contestant on Moonlight Mates was simple: Use my fifteen minutes of fame from the dating reality show to expose my ex-boss for stealing pack land. But in the ultimate plot twist, the billionaire wolf showed up as my episode’s Moonlight Beast, and chose me as his mate. The contracts have been altered, and to keep me from destroying him, he’s forcing me into marriage. A little enemies-to-lovers drama will be good for ratings, right? Hell no. I’m not going down without a fight. When I call the Grizzly Guardians, I’m shocked the bear shifter security company agrees to help me. But I never expect them to crash the season finale and drag me away from this sham of a wedding...on live TV. Barrett Guardian insists the danger has just begun. He brings me to a tiny cabin in the middle of nowhere and refuses to leave my side. For Barrett, this case is personal. This heartbroken single dad refuses to let this wolf ruin another life—especially mine. Now, he needs my help, and it will take a lot more than gossip to bring down this powerful wolf syndicate. This bear is ready to fight for me, and he’ll give me what Moonlight Mates couldn’t…my very own happily ever after.

After successfully avenging the death of his father, Halfdan and the crew of the Sea Wolf seek adventure in strange new lands, far from their Scandinavian home. They join the fleet of Harald Hardrada, the legendary Viking commander, sailing back to Constantinople from the battlefields of Georgia. There they join the Varangians, the personal bodyguard of the Byzantine Emperors populated almost exclusively by Viking warriors. But Constantinople has changed during Hardrada’s long absence. The Emperor, Michael IV, is ailing visibly, and powerful factions in his court are setting their plans in motion ahead of his inevitable demise. While courtiers scheme, elements even within the Varangian Guard are picking sides. Gunnhild, the seer among the Sea Wolf crew, has struck out on her own in the big city. Unable to join the all-male Guard alongside her friends, she establishes herself in a small side-street near the port as a healer and soothsayer, offering cures to the sick and glimpses of the future to the desperate, or the conspiratorial. But in all her visions she sees a wolf, a boar and a golden bear fighting together to support the Byzantine throne. The Norns aren’t finished with them yet... The epic second instalment in the Wolves of Odin series, taking us to the heart of power in Constantinople and the desperate machinations of the Byzantine emperors.
