      ‘With this ring, I accept you as my husband.’

      Gwendolyn had neglected to put the ring on her finger, so she moved to rectify that, but Vidar stopped her by covering her hand with his. Gently, he took the ring from her and slid it on her finger. He didn’t say anything, but it felt as if he’d claimed her. Just as his ring claimed her finger, he had claimed her as his.

      He moved away, only to turn back with the sword his Jarl Eirik had given him. It was ornate, with two rubies set into the gilded hilt. He held it out to her, lying flat on both of his palms. ‘I am entrusting this into your care, to be given to our firstborn son. May you bear me many.’

      She nodded and took the sword from him, handing it off to Rodor. ‘I accept,’ she said, her voice low enough that only Vidar and Rodor were likely to hear her. ‘But we never agreed to children.’

      Now that the ceremony was finished he’d relaxed, and he even smiled at her when she said that. ‘I’m looking forward to the challenge, my lady.’

      They were well and truly wed now.

      Author Note

      Vidar’s story brings to a close the books I’ve planned in the Viking Warriors series. I’ve had so much fun exploring the world of Jarl Hegard’s sons, and their journeys to find love in the unforgiving Viking age. Each book has meant so much to me, but I am especially happy to bring Vidar’s story to you.

      We first met Vidar in Enslaved by the Viking when he was a young teenager working on his older brother’s ship. We saw him again when he played reluctant nurse to his ailing and grumpy half brother in One Night with the Viking. Now Vidar has shrugged off the weight of his overbearing brothers and has come into his own with his very own love story.

      However, his journey is anything but what he wants it to be. He’s been saddled yet again with another responsibility that he doesn’t want: a wife. No longer free to roam the seas, he must take up the responsibility of his wife and her ancestral estate whether he wants them or not. He’s in for a surprise—because Gwendolyn isn’t in the market for a husband any more than Vidar is for a wife. When these two clash, no one is safe!

      I hope you enjoy Gwendolyn and Vidar’s story. Please find me on Facebook if you’d like to chat about it (Facebook.com/harperstgeorge). Thank you so much for reading.
