This is book 4 in the series of Viking brothers.  Magnus is such a fun character.  He is all alpha male.  When he meets Deidra it is amusing to see how his world is turned upside down by her deception.  Deidra is nave even in her deception which is comical at times.  The author crafts a great story but I wish that she took the time to make them longer instead of simply novellas.  I recommend the series but read them in order for the full effect and character depiction.  All of the stories are full of lusty moments, as well as, tender ones between the main characters.Summary:To Viking warrior Magnus, marriage is naught but a contract, a bargain between men for land and title. Lust, love--he scorns such notions as weak and unmanly. But three days before he's to wed a highland princess, he falls into the maelstrom of a maid's startled eyes. Their passionate tryst has him rethinking his notions, and he struggles to find a way to keep the beguiling Deidra while honoring the marriage contract he's arranged with the father of his betrothed.Deidra cannot take a walk in the forest without finding a wounded dove. Devoted to her menagerie of injured bears, peacocks, and wolves, she vows to disobey her Da when he betroths her to the Norse warrior known as the Destroyer. Until, disguised as a maid, she's rescued from a would-be rapist by the Destroyer himself. How can any call him ugly or cruel? For he treats her as if she is made of spun glass, and teaches her the magikal pleasures of the flesh.But Magnus is furious when he learns the woman he's fallen so deeply for is none other than his betrothed. For there's nothing he despises more than a deceitful female...except, perhaps, two of them...
