The Jarl's Blood Vow

A Viking jarl. A Saxon bride. A vow written in blood.

Lady Aelwen of Dunwic saves Jarl Eirik Ragnvaldsson from a knife meant to kill him during a fragile peace feast. Her reward is betrayal. To stop Viking vengeance from falling on her people, Aelwen is offered as a living blood price, bound by vow to the feared Northman her family tried to murder.

Eirik does not want love. He wants obedience, peace, and a bride who proves Dunwic will not break faith again.

Aelwen does not want a husband. She wants survival, freedom, and the truth behind the plot that turned her into payment.

Taken across the cold sea to Eirik's hall, Aelwen enters a world of oath law, dangerous loyalty, and enemies hidden behind friendly faces. She is watched, tested, and blamed for every shadow that moves against the jarl. But the vow that made her his hostage also makes her his to protect.

And protection from Eirik Ragnvaldsson is a dangerous thing.

As desire grows where hatred should live, Aelwen must decide whether the man who claimed her is her captor, her shield, or the only person willing to see her as more than a price.

In the North, marriage is not a ceremony. It is a weapon.

The Jarl's Blood Vow is a full length Viking historical romance featuring forced marriage, enemies to lovers tension, a possessive protector hero, a strong Saxon heroine, political betrayal, slow burn passion, and a hard won happily ever after.
