Viking warrior Kara Thorddatter has spent her entire life trying to fill the role of second son. She finally gets the chance to prove herself when her beloved brother disappears off the coast of Alba. Her ailing father gives her two tasks. The first is to give his long deceased friend's son a map to a treasure hoard. The second is to find her brother. If she fails to do that, she'll be forced to marry Skuli, a man desiring her only for her wealth and position.

Aedan Hakonson failed to protect the two women he loved most, his mother and his sister. When a beautiful woman warrior arrives on his doorstep talking treasure and shipwrecks, he knows he can't let anything harm her. He fears that the greatest harm to Kara may come from his growing attraction to his Viking miss.

My husband blames his burnt dinner on My Lady Viking. I could not put it down. The verbal and physical exchanges between Kara and Aedan are fierce, passionate, and, at times, outright humorous. The characters are rich and real, the writing fast, the imagery poignant. My Lady Viking has renewed my love for Viking romances. I am looking forward to Jean C. Gordon's next offering.
