Viking on Her Doorstep (Curious Happenings Book 1)

Valentine’s Day, 1967: It’s Dagmar “Dar” Kratchenmeyer’s 30th birthday. After devoting a decade of her life to her professor husband, he leaves her for a younger, slimmer model. Is it any wonder Dar no longer believes in fairytales or happy endings?

A year later she receives a Viking amulet from her beloved late great aunt’s estate, reminding Dar of the tales they shared of magic love charms, Norse gods and happily-ever-afters. If only she could believe again in enchanted tales of bold, handsome Vikings but she’s learned that legendary tales are meant for wide-eyed children.

At least, that’s what she thinks until a gorgeous, half-naked Viking appears on her doorstep…and says he wants to play.

His broken English makes little sense, but garbed in reindeer hides, Brunhilda helmet, sword and shield, he’s the embodiment of her innermost fantasies. So this is Auntie Helga’s final parting gift, Dar muses. A costumed paid male escort sent to ease her birthday blues. She knows a proper woman would never consider succumbing to his professional charms but…

A major misunderstanding, a chocolate disaster, a lovable but problematic dog, and a dose of true Viking magic make this one birthday Dar will never forget.
