In a world of ruin, possession is the only mercy. Tyr survives the end of the world the way he’s survived everything else—by taking what he wants and never looking back. Then a resupply raid turns up something unexpected: a fierce, beautiful prisoner who looks at Tyr like she’d rather slit his throat than submit.

Tyr’s alpha instincts give way to something much darker—a strong, unquenchable craving that cannot be ignored…or denied. He wants her—too much. And that’s the most dangerous weakness of all.

Everyone knows these steel-eyed, hardware-wielding, tattooed Viking raiders are monsters. But Helena isn’t scared of monsters, and she has a mission of her own. After two years on the run, she knows she just has to bide her time and escape when the moment is right.

But the man who claims her is nothing like she imagined. As desire scorches into obsession and enemies close in, Helena has to decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to lose.
