In a strange land of flashing swords and swirling silks, spicy aromas and hot breezes that feel like a lover's breath, Valdis is utterly lost. It's all so different from her home in the Northlands. And the harem she's forced to enter is more treacherous than a winter gale.

Her family cast her away for the strange "falling sickness" that stalks her, but they were doubly suspicious about her visions of the future. Now her glimpses of tomorrow turn more ominous. They foretell the death of the one man who could help her escape—Erik, an exiled Viking who braves the wrath of a kingdom to waken her to passion, one sinful pleasure at a time. Erik and Valdis must play a high-stakes game of power and seduction or they'll never have hope of living out her . . . Silk Dreams.
