Book excerpt: The desperate sobs of a frightened little girl found their way into the Viking warrior’s heart but, when his father announced that Aric must wed the child when she came of age, his sympathy turned to rage. Aric fled his home to seek adventure in distant lands and for ten years he traveled, hoping the child would die before he returned. As years passed Christina, the child, grew into a beautiful and talented woman who had but one wish…for Aric to return and take her as his wife. Having drunk too much on his return he searched for a woman to satisfy needs too long denied. Seeing a beautiful slave, he lead her away, dismissing the pleas of the young girl who walked with her. At his father’s house the next day, Christina heard her name called out and was not prepared for what she heard. “For ten years I have traveled, Father, and for ten years I have prayed for Christina Etton’s death. Why do you force me to marry a woman who will always be ugly to me?” After the night just passed in Aric’s arms, Christina could not understand the cruelty of his words or…why he prayed for her death?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA Today bestseller Tiffany Reisz turns back the clock on her Original Sinners series to the Victorian era in this kinky Christmas romance… Two days before Christmas 1871, the newly-minted Baron Marcus Stearns returns to London for the reading of his long-estranged and much-despised father’s will, fully certain he will inherit nothing but the title. He receives the shock of his life when he learns that he and his sister Lady Claire will only inherit their late father’s vast estate if he marries—immediately. Kingsley, the Baron’s lover and devoted valet, offers a simple solution to a seemingly Herculean task—the Baron should simply marry his beautiful ward Eleanor. Yet while the Baron longs to do just that…he possesses a dangerous secret that threatens to destroy their marriage before it’s hardly begun. Written in the spirit of "Once More, With Feeling” (the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and “Atomic Shakespeare” (the legendary "Taming of the Shrew" episode of Moonlighting), comes A Midwinter Night's Dream, an Original Sinners Victorian Christmas novella.
