She's been running for ten years. He's the warrior who makes her want to stay.
Soifra has spent a decade fleeing the obsessed nobleman who destroyed her village and claimed her as his own. From Ireland to Francia, she's survived by her wits, her healing skills, and one unbreakable rule: trust no one, love no one, and never stop running.
Then she saves the life of a wounded Viking warrior-and everything changes.
Eirik Valdursen is heir to one of the most powerful holdings in the North. Raised to lead, trained for battle, he's never met a woman who challenged him the way this fierce Irish healer does. She's guarded, sharp-tongued, and utterly captivating. And she's running from a darkness that threatens to consume them both.
As Soifra tends Eirik's wounds, an undeniable attraction ignites between them-one that defies logic, culture, and every wall she's built around her heart. But Sven hasn't stopped hunting. His network of spies spans the continent, and he will burn the world to reclaim what he believes is his.
When danger forces them to flee across storm-tossed seas to Eirik's homeland, Soifra must decide: Can she trust this battle-hardened warrior with her secrets, her body, and her scarred heart? Or will loving him cost her the freedom she's fought so hard to protect?
Set against the brutal beauty of the Viking age, Blood and Tide is an epic tale of survival, passion, and the courage it takes to stop running and fight for love.
