The Norse Warrior Protectors Series (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 join the ulfhednar—wolf shifters—who are loyal to the Norse gods. Together, these warrior protectors 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.
