One Tough of Magic — Amanda McCabe

Lady Sarah Iverson continues to excavate a cursed Viking village on the new Lord Ransom's land, a young man just returned to England, a decorated officer in a bloody war. The old Lord Ransom let her take painstaking time, but the handsome new lord has other plans for the land. He wants to use his new wealth to help returning soldiers, desperate for work and food. How can she convince him to allow her to continue her work without destroying the village, while also calming superstitious workers frightened by the curse of the Viking Witch? When violence erupts, she must battle the unknown as well as inconvenient feelings for the new lord of the manor. They have a deep connection to each other and the distant past, conflicting desires, and an-unlooked for budding romance. They must work together to solve the mystery of the Village before it's too late. A treasure of immeasurable value awaits the pure of heart. A deadly curse waits for greedy treasure-hunters, set on sabotage, murder, and ruin.
