I love escaping into the forest to relax and recharge, and tending the tropical orchids on my windowsill soothes my soul. My Viking Series is an ode to the celebrated strength of both men and women, and a culture that is connected to nature and lives in tune with the cycles of the seasons. I love to craft stories that pull readers into worlds with vivid settings. I often write about bold heroines and their lovable heroes as they find their way to each other and their happily ever after. There's nothing sexier than a man that isn't intimidated by a strong woman!","brand":"Ree Thornton Author","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525387456786,"sku":"9780648780212","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_14939d5d-4b09-4420-8e4c-6a84797249e1.jpg?v=1731216521","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/beloved-viking-9780648780212","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
