FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR ELVIRA BELL
Ari and Vidar are Viking warriors and blood brothers. Will handsome thrall Elric break their bond...or make it even stronger?
When young Saxon Elric is sold to Norse slave traders, he thinks that his life is over. He is brought across the sea to the settlement of the Norsemen and becomes the chief's thrall, and neither the chief nor the warriors are lenient with him. Two of the warriors are different, though—Ari and Vidar. Elric senses that their bond goes beyond mere friendship, and wishes that he himself had someone who would care for him.
Ari and Vidar have been lovers for years, but they have to sneak away whenever they want to be together. Vidar is next in line to be leader, as the chief's nephew, but he's shy and insecure and only feels at home on the battlefield. Ari looks different than the other warriors, since his mother was of foreign descent, and he's had to learn how to stand up for himself.
The two of them are blood brothers, linked together forever, but even though they are lovers they can't go against the taboo that prohibits free men from being passive during sex. Ari feels that something is lacking, and Elric's arrival gives him an idea—what if they invited Elric to join them in bed? The thought excites him, and Elric himself seems eager to please.
The only question is how Ari is supposed to get Vidar to agree to letting another man into their relationship...
