Part of a burgeoning ancient prophecy, Shea's sole focus is to protect her sisters. Not become mated to a Viking of her dragon ancestor's choosing. If that happens, she might lose not just her independence but a matchmaking gift that brings people together. A gift at risk when she's kidnapped by a stubborn, frustratingly handsome barbarian who takes her on a whirlwind adventure through tenth-century Scandinavia.

Though at odds with the twenty-first-century beauty from the moment he meets her, Viking Davyn Sigdir steals Shea away to keep her safe from enemies set on making her theirs. Unfortunately, he underestimates how alluring she can be when it suits her. How feisty and headstrong she is as she tries to outwit him at every turn. Yet the fiery strife between them only draws them closer, and soon their unwanted attraction becomes hard to resist.

Determined to control their own fate, they devise a bold plan to trick their adversaries. One that could keep Shea's matchmaking gift intact, plus end the prophecy and ongoing war. All they have to do is get along and not give in to temptation, which should be simple for two people who are resolved to remain apart. Or so they hope as a passionate high-stakes war of hearts ensues in Viking's Intent.
