She drew the attention of everyone with her beauty and charm. Although she was already one of his wives, the Emperor sought to keep her even closer. A one-shot of a man enchanted, and his willing prisoner. AN: After receiving feedback from some readers, I've decided to expand the stories. I hope you enjoy reading them! Each chapter can be read as a standalone one shot, so you can stop any time you wish, but I sincerely hope that you will like the stories enough to read all of them! Thank you Gadaffilicious for the amazingly beautiful cover! I've changed my username to purplebluedreams, so don't be surprised by the different name!

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...
