Rathgar

Years ago, I swore off love. He's a huge, growly barbarian of a man. And I'm assigned to have his baby.When I packed my bags and moved to Aesirheim to be with my sister and her new alien husband, I told myself I wouldn't get involved. I have my daughter Iris to look after, and that's enough.But when the contract stipulates that I have to sign up as a surrogate or risk deportation, I do what I have to do to keep my family safe.I never expected to be matched with Rathgar, the terrifying warrior who revels in battle and bloodshed. And I never expected how quickly my toddler daughter would get attached to him.After the mistakes of my past, I refuse to give any male my heart. But how can I resist this alpha when he makes my daughter giggle and smile during the day and makes me scream at night?I didn't expect to want him.I didn't expect to need him.But when an old nemesis attacks, I just hope I can stay alive long enough to see him again.
