When graduate Aussie archaeologist Sibyl flies halfway around the world to work in the Arctic, she’s not sure what she might find…but she wasn’t counting on getting injured at the start of the dig…or being rescued by the hottest Viking she’s ever seen.
Thor might look like a superhero, but he has secrets buried under the ice that have been waiting a thousand years to come to light. Worse, he’s missing his hammer, the weapon he needs to set things right…and Sibyl’s his only hope of getting it back.
If only they can break the curse before the Viking witch who cast it wakes…

I’m Samantha Moon. Mom. Wife.

Vampire.

I was a federal agent until an attack robbed me of my life.

Now I’m an undead private investigator and I work the night shift.

My newest client is Kingsley Fulcrum, a defense attorney who was shot five times and, weirdly, walked away from it.

Kingsley hired me to find the perp and, ahem, Kingsley is extremely handsome, charming and funny.

Not that I notice—I’m a not-so-happily married woman, after all.

Yeah, things with my husband haven’t exactly been hunky dory ever since I grew fangs. In fact, I think my cold skin is driving my husband to warmer pastures.

To top everything off, someone just sent me the medallion my attacker was wearing the night he turned me.

I think the reason is pretty clear: I’ve attracted a vampire hunter and he’s coming for me next.

If so, he’s in for a surprise; I’m a lot tougher than I look.
