2014
Alternate cover edition of ASIN B00P5CNK1O
\\\THE VIKING QUEEN'S MEN is also available in the 9-book VIKINGS UNLEASHED boxed set which remains available in the Kindle store for a limited time.\\\
First in a new modern Viking paranormal romance series!
Contessa Dahl has spent most of her life in a haze. A rudderless orphan, most decisions involved her fists and feet: should she fight or should she run? At twenty-eight, she’s ready to clean up her act, but Tess might be a bit premature because she’s destined to be a special kind of leader.
Born into a group of desert-dwelling telepathic descendants of Vikings, Tess was meant to become a link for them all—their queen and conduit. Her kidnapping and the subsequent death of her parents meant her people, the Afótama, have had a hole in their web for too long. Now that she’s back at home, it’s Tess’s job to mend it. But, she can’t do it alone.
She needs a perfect mate to fill in her psychic gaps, and two men claim to be fated for the job. Harvey Lang, her childhood champion, and the group outsider Oliver Gilisson would fight to the death to win her. However, to gain full control of her considerable power, she must find a way to keep them both.
[THE VIKING QUEEN'S MEN is an M/F/M romance that contains hot sex, bar brawls, and psychic snark.]

The Chieftain's Daughter
2015
It has been nearly a thousand years since the Afótama have had a chieftain, and the old Viking gods have decided it’s time to return some power to the tribe’s men. Harvey Lang and Oliver Gilisson have barely settled into their roles as queen’s consorts when new powers awaken along with undeniable hungers.
Queen Contessa now has two chieftains and twice as many problems. She’s not only in the midst of using her powerful psychic abilities to track long-missing clanspeople, but now has to contend with mercenaries targeting the Afótama’s New Mexican desert home and a megalomaniac fairy queen wants to take Ollie’s sons. Further, her two men seem to have forged an incendiary connection that has left her feeling cold.
If Harvey, Ollie, and Tess are to be the leaders who finally return magic to their people, they must first come to terms with having power of their own. And to balance their strengths, they may have to become a true ménage instead of a sometimes-threesome.

Viking's Pride
2015
This novella is set between THE CHIEFTAIN'S DAUGHTER and VIKING FLAME in The Afótama Legacy.
Growing up in the isolated community of Norseton, New Mexico, Erin Petersen always felt at odds with her peers. Although power and favor is flowing back to the Afótama clan from the old Viking gods, Erin hasn’t been bestowed with any. She’s still a weak psychic, and being a perpetual sore thumb has left her aimless.
When the sexy as sin boy next door Will Valle returns to Norseton after more than a decade away, not only does he offer her the possibility of a exciting job in spite of her weak gifts, but a chance to explore the world outside of Norseton.
In the midst of the powerful awakening her brooding geek ignites, Erin learns that her "weirdness" might exist for a more sinister reason. She’s prepared to confront it with Will’s help, but in doing so, the revelations they force to the surface might shake the Afótama to their core. Erin has always wanted to fit in, but now she might be the reason many in the clan are on the way out.

Beauty & The Viking
2017
This novella was first published in the TAMING THE BEAST anthology. It is a stand-alone Norseton Wolves/Afótama Legacy crossover story set in Fallon set sometime after the Afótama Legacy book The Chieftain’s Daughter and before the Norseton Wolves novella Seer. This novella is an inter-series side story.
The return of magic to the Afótama people has infiltrated the underground Vikings in Fallon, Nevada, and the rich, reclusive Andreas Toft is its newest casualty. His family’s curse has reawakened, and now Andreas has new reasons to hide. He can’t control his transformations into a beast, nor remember who he is once he’s shifted!
When paralegal Mary Nissen tracks him down for a witness interview, she expects some opposition from the eccentric man. She doesn’t, however, anticipate him abducting her...
Andreas fears that once the secret of what he is gets out, the locals will kill him. Mary’s not like the others, though. She celebrates the return of magic to their people, and wants to help him. But if Andreas can’t trust that she has his best interests at heart, he’ll end up not only gambling with danger as a lone wolf. He’ll alienate the woman his animal half has claimed for a mate, as well!

Viking Flame
2016
Acting as an emissary for her pregnant cousin Tess, Nadia Hall’s mission is to locate a missing member of her clan’s royalty. She sets up a temporary base in Florida expecting Tess to send backup, but Nadia doesn’t expect it to show up in the form of one of the two men she’s been aggressively avoiding for months. And when man number two arrives out of the blue, her crippling anxiety about connecting to her fated makes the usually assertive woman run and hide.
To complicate matters, her mates Thom Vaughn and Jeff Alstrup butt heads in a way only a sexually frustrated fairy and a fire-wielding modern Viking can manage. It seems the men don’t have a problem sharing Nadia—the issue is the men don’t know if they can share each other.
If the powerful trio can’t strike an accord, not only will Nadia’s mission potentially get derailed, but the three will be unable to compensate for the changes in their magic that their union has sparked. With Nadia being psychically linked to the rest of the Afótama clan, she can’t afford to lose control. None of them can.

The Viking's Witch
2016
Although her sister has pulled up stakes and moved her family to the psychic community of Norseton, Marty Petersen doesn’t believe she’ll fit in with them. She belongs in familiar Florida, and not in the desert amidst a clan of thoroughly modern Vikings.
Afótama clansman Chris Holst doesn’t agree. He’s been dreaming of Marty for nearly a year and knows she’s meant to be his. He doesn’t want her to leave Norseton before he’s had his chance to bond with her in the way of their kind, but he understands why she’d be afraid. Her father is the clan’s most notorious fraud, and the blowback from his imminent expulsion could upset the single mom’s already shaky situation. He’s willing to stand at her side and hold her hand until the turmoil subsides, but she has to let him into her life first.
If Marty can’t break free from the depressive grip of the lies that have suppressed her for so many years, she won’t be able to take what’s hers. She could wield the magic of the Afótama, and more importantly, she could claim the worthy man who is rightfully hers.

A Legacy Divided
2018
In this penultimate installment of The Afótama Legacy, a prodigal son returns, an adopted daughter goes missing, and an ancient witch grows restless.
The community of Norseton has been in a state of disorder since the young princess Tess was kidnapped more than two decades ago. Her return to the long-secluded tribe of psychics should have marked a return to the tranquility they knew in their first centuries in America, but there’s still work to be done. She needs her older brothers’ help to root out traitors and track the mastermind behind the plot to unravel the community.
One brother chases a mate who’s vanished under mysterious circumstances. The other is embroiled in a testy trio with the daughter of the man who tops Norseton’s public enemy list and the fairy who’s only ever seen him at his worst. Can the Dahl men be the emissaries the Afótama need when the heightened urgency for them to secure their mates distracts them from their missions?
And as the fount of their wild magic, Ótama, takes a more hands-on approach to community threats, will the peaceable culture of the clan change as they all know it?
