Please welcome my guest blogger Lea Bronsen with Torn Avenger.
Hi, and thank you for hosting me on your blog!
When asked what inspires me to write books, I usually say it’s something I’ve seen or heard, or I’ve been challenged to dig deeply into my imagination and come up with a crazy idea. This time, it was a premade cover. The moment I saw this dark, sensual, slightly homo erotic image of a half-naked man in a fur coat on an exquisitely colored background, I knew it had to be mine. I decided in which historical period to set the story – the obscure, mythical age of the Vikings – and the ensuing process plunged me into an exciting and not so foreign world where everyday heroes lived the same dramas and battled for the same values and desires as we do in modern society. I hope you enjoy the read!
Roeland van Dijk, a wealthy Dutch merchant settled in
Norway, has done the unthinkable to protect his family — hacked off the head of
a Viking rapist. The wrath of the blond savages will cost him his freedom, and
possibly his own head… Unless he's willing to accept the love of another man.

Excerpt
After a moment, Alv looked up again and almost gasped from the erotic
vision in front of him. While shaving Roeland, he’d only seen his wet, hairy
chest and stomach, but the handsome man moved to a kneeling position in the
basin and washed his lower body. His stunning maleness made Alv hot and
bothered. They had discussed, argued, shared personal details, and apologized
to each other, but now, the seriousness of their conversation faded. The sight
of Roeland’s cock bathing in white foam between his legs had Alv’s own cock
jolt and press painfully against his pants.
Oh, Roeland attracted him on several levels—mental, emotional, and
physical—and Alv longed to discover and develop more of everything with him.
Hedin was an exciting lover, but nothing like what Roeland had the potential to
be.
Speaking of Hedin, it’d been a surprise to see him again this morning,
right after Elke left. He’d arrived in a terrible mood and refused to excuse
his disappearance act. It was outrageous of a slave to come and go like that,
but Alv had too much on his mind to think of punishing him.
For one, he worried about Roeland’s future. He’d inherited part of
Father’s wealth, but not his title. After returning to Eðni, he’d claimed to be
the only one who could decide of what to do with his brother’s murderer, but it
wasn’t true. He had no standing, no support from his fellow citizens. They
could choose to kill Roeland if they wanted to—all it took was a word from
Mother. It made her idea to have Alv marry Elke and adopt the community’s
natural heir that much more important to push through.
“There’s something we need to talk about,” he said, hoping Roeland
wouldn’t oppose to the plan.
“What?”
“Normally, I would ask you, but since you’re not in a position to make
decisions, I’m just going to tell you.”
“About what?” Roeland frowned.
“I’m marrying your sister.”
Roeland stood so fast in the basin, water splashed to all sides. He
stepped out and leaned into Alv’s face. “Don’t you dare to touch her!”
“But I’m not…”
“Hasn’t she suffered enough?” Roeland bellowed, his dark eyes slit with
anger.
By Thor, he was insanely sexy, standing naked and wet, so near Alv could
feel his damp bodily heat, water drippling from his hair and rolling alongside
his tanned, chiseled cheeks. Alv couldn’t help hardening more, and needed to
focus on the words that came out of Roeland’s luscious mouth to be able to
answer. “She has already accepted.”
