Holding On For a Hero: A Viking Historical Romance

By: Harlem, Lily

She's a fearsome shield-maiden.

He's a virgin Highlander.

And neither of them is ready for what comes next.

Astrid Rhalson sails hard, fights harder, and loves on her own terms, if she bothers loving at all. Feared across the Northlands as a legendary shield-maiden, she's loud, lethal, and loyal only to her Viking kin. Men either run from her or worship her. And she prefers it that way.

So when a storm strands her on the foreign, Christian shores of Lothlend, the last thing she expects is a Highlander with honor in his eyes and heat in his veins.

Hamish MacCallum has lived a life of discipline, devoted to his village, his God, and his purity. But the moment he sees Astrid, flame-haired, battle-scarred, and unlike any woman he's ever imagined, his resolve crumbles. She's wild. Dangerous. Irresistible.

And when she catches him spying on her... things get messy. And very, very hot.

Now trapped in close quarters, one will push boundaries and the other will learn exactly how much pleasure sin can bring. Because when a Viking meets a virgin Highlander, the rules of war, and love, are made to be broken.
