Outcast — Kathryn Hockett

She Met Her Match

Though she's never laid eyes on him, flame-haired Erica of Clan MacQuarrie is defiantly proud that her father was a Viking Jarl. Around her neck she wears the garnet pendant he gave to her mother, and vows someday to follow her Viking destiny. That day comes sooner than she imagined when powerful Nordic warrior Torin drops anchor. An emissary of her father, Torin has come in search of the Jarl's eldest son, "Eric." Erica is only too happy to correct a shocked Torin's mistake...and boldly demands that he take her to her father.

He Found His Equal

After discovering the son he'd come in search of is a daughter--worse, a spitfire hellion--Torin prepares to leave Scotland to find the Jarl's two sons. But vengeful clansmen have taken him prisoner. His only hope lies in the beautiful, brazen Erica, who promises to aid his escape provided he take her with him. He cannot anticipate the peril that lies ahead--or the relentless desire that will lead them to a grand empire...and glorious love.
