Rogue-Bound: The Valdursen Brothers Vidar & Seren: Book 4 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245600116)

He built a rebellion on lies. She survived the truth.

For eight years, Vidar Valdursen has lived as a ghost.

Exiled from his family to protect them from a deadly prophecy, the scholar-turned-spy has built a rebellion under the name "Aleksei"-wielding words like weapons, quoting philosophers while toppling tyrants, and burying the man he used to be beneath layers of carefully constructed lies.

Then he met her.

Seren is a healer with blood on her hands and scars she'll never show. After escaping an abusive marriage, she found refuge in Paris-and unexpected love with a mysterious rebel who saw past her broken pieces to the strength underneath. For two years, she believed she knew him.

She was wrong about everything except the love.

When Seren is captured by the shadowy Council that has manipulated history for three centuries, she endures six months of torture-never breaking, never betraying the man she loves. But the rescue that finally comes shatters more than her chains. The rebel she trusted with her heart has been lying about his very identity.

Now, with the Council hunting them and his family's enemies closing in, Vidar must make an impossible choice: continue running from the prophecy that drove him into exile, or return to the home he abandoned and face the brothers he left behind.

But first, he'll have to convince the woman he deceived that some lies are told to protect-and that the love between them was always the one truth he never faked.

Rogue-Bound is a standalone Viking historical romance featuring a scholar hero who quotes philosophy in bed, a fierce heroine who chooses mercy over vengeance, found family, brother reunions, and a hard-won happily ever after. Book 4 in the Sons of the Northern Sea series.
