The Norse Warrior Protectors: The Berserkers (Paranormal Romance)

Chaos and infighting reigns in the Norse gods’ council. Their conflict spreads to present-day Midgard when Loki creates wolverine hybrids in the human realm.

To protect humanity, Odin and Freya send their einherjar—the bravest of Valhalla’s Vikings and Valkyries—back to the modern world of the living. These immortal berserkers must defeat Loki and his genetically engineered monsters. But an ancient rune stone foretells the half-god as the only surviving deity at the end of the war, and power-hungry Loki will risk everything to rule the worlds of both gods and humans.

Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone and always ends with HEA. No cliff-hangers. And if you like the NWP: The Berserkers series, you’ll also want to read the NWP: The Wolves books, which take place in the same world and have characters who you’ve met in this series.

Book 5: Scott & Irja

BERSERKER VENGEANCE

To save her people, an immortal Valkyrie must unleash her hidden powers. Even if it means a death sentence for her and the man she’s forever loved from afar.
Irja Vainio hasn’t used her true healing gifts since the time they caused someone close to her to die. Instead, she relies on modern medicine to protect her warrior sisters and brothers, while denying her feelings for Scott Brisbane, her new queen’s brother.

But the immortal Vikings are falling mysteriously ill, and without magic, Irja’s skills aren’t enough. The trickster god Loki offers her a cure, but it comes with a steep price. To save her people, she needs Scott’s help. But although he’s loyal to the Vikings, he’s battling his own inner demons.

Can these two broken souls find a way to heal and slay the monsters threatening their loved ones–and the rest of the world?

Author’s Note: A version of this book was previously published as Loki Ascending. Although edited to better fit the Norse Warrior Protectors world, people who have read the previous version will find this story very familiar.

But even if Loki’s monsters and the Goddess Freya had not exacerbated the situation, they would both still be very wrong. That one night changed everything.

When a ferocious winter storm sweeps across the Sierras, wolf shifter Nora Bretagne has to abandon the search for her missing uncle.

He’s an undercover agent, hunting for answers to his brother’s suicide. She’s an immortal Valkyrie with a last chance of redemption. Together they are sizzling perfection, but is he playing her for the secrets she’ll die to protect?

The childhood genetic experiments that gave Luke Holden exceptional speed and strength cursed his twin with such horrific hallucinations that he overdosed to escape them. For years, Luke’s one goal has been to expose the covert research lab he blames for his brother’s death. He’ll sacrifice everything to complete the mission–even the blonde, green-eyed goddess who’s haunted his dreams ever since she left his bed after one night of scorching pleasure.

During her last assignment, Astrid Idrisdotter almost killed an innocent bystander and lost the respect of her fellow Norse warriors. Her new duties offer a chance to salvage her tarnished reputation. All she has to do is escort an important guest to the royal wedding. Easy-peasy for a shield maiden armed with modern-day weapons.

But when Loki’s monsters kidnap the VIP, Astrid must forge an alliance with a former lover whose steel-gray gaze pierces a little too deep into her soul. Their one night together fractured the protective walls she’s spent years building around her heart. What if trusting him now shatters them all together?
