This book is now available on Amazon and unfortunately they won't allow me to put it up elsewhere for free, not even the unedited draft. Sorry! The Vikings! Aelswyn had heard about them, all the tales of their barbaric behaviour, the rapes and pillages, the massacres, the burnt villages. But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...

Seventeen-year old Louise Allen lives a lonely life, with her parents always out on trips; she hates it. However, she has always been positive about life. Twenty one-year old Damon Clyde, Louise's childhood friend, lives a lonely life too, not because his parents were adventurous, but because they're gone forever. Will the two of them start living a not-so-lonely life when they started sleeping under the same roof? Oh, that's not the end of it. Will they be able to survive fate's playful decisions when Damon becomes Lou's English Literature teacher, especially when Lou starts to fall in love with his self-centered but charming ways.
