Fed up with Hollywood backstabbing, famous movie actress Madalyn Simon decided to escape the spotlight. Her new back-to-basics existence in an Alaskan cabin did take getting used to, but at least she was in control of her own destiny or so she thought. While snowmobiling on the frigid coast with her sister, the pair is taken hostage by a band of rough men who want them for reasons beyond imagining.
They are neo-Vikings from a hidden underworld, in search of women Outsiders to breed for the New Sweden clan. Their sexy leader, Otar, wants only one woman: Madalyn. Overpowered by his masculine strength and unmasked desire, Madalyn must become Otar's wife or face the marriage auction block. Now, in a world beyond dreams and as real as the hot flesh of her enticing warrior-husband, Madalyn discovers the power of an all-consuming passion as the fires of revolution threaten all she has come to love....

July 31, 2009: After several recommendations of Jaid Black's books, I was excited to find one at the local B&N. This is one of those books I wish I had borrowed from the library. The writing felt stilted and awkward, the dialogue even more so. This book either needed to be chopped down to a short story, given more pages to explain the underworld's culture and political happenings, or not written at all. The world of the 'Vikings' was confusing; one moment they were speaking in what I'm guessing was supposed to be a medieval English, and then they sounded like regular men of the twenty-first century. The characters' personalities and motivations were laughable at best. Unfortunately, I can't think of anyone I would recommend this book to. If you want to try a Jaid Black novel, I'd say look elsewhere.
