Madalyn Simons is definitely feeling burnt out. Being an
actress is hard work, and she can't help feeling the
embarrassment of her last picture. Determined to disappear
for awhile, she heads to a remote location in Alaska. The
only person who knows her whereabouts is her little sister,
Drake, and she won't squeal.
Otar Thordsson has led a lonely life, determined not to
take a wife until the revolution of New Sweden is over and
the kingdom restored to its rightful order, for he will not
leave a wife without the support of a husband. However,
Otar does travel to the surface from time to time from his
underground world to bring women to replenish the dwindling
female population.
While sightseeing, Madalyn and Drake end up being abducted
by several large men and taken to a city deep under the
mountains. If the uncertainty of where they are and how
long they'll be here isn't enough, Madalyn has to make a
choice to either marry Otar or be placed on the marriage
block. Not expecting to be in this place very long, Madalyn
chooses Otar. Otar has loved Madalyn for some time after
having seen her movies, and there's no way he'll let her go.
By the time revolution threatens to upset the balance of
the clans in New Sweden, Madalyn has fallen for Otar. Now,
she has the hard decision to make of whether to stay with
him underground or to return above ground to her old life.
DEEP, DARK AND DANGEROUS is steamy and edgy. This fantasy
grabs your attention and makes you hang on for the ride.
Black created this sexy and unique neo-Viking underground
society in two previous novellas featured in the
anthologies TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN (2/05) and PLAYING EASY
TO GET (2/06). I definitely recommend this book for a
weekend of sexy reading.
Fed up with Hollywood backstabbing, famous movie actress
Madalyn Simon decided to escape the spotlight. Her new back-
to-basics existence in an Alaskan cabin did take getting
used to, but at least she was in control of her own
destiny -- or so she thought. While snowmobiling on the
frigid coast with her sister, the pair is taken hostage by
a band of rough men who want them -- for reasons beyond
imagining.
A captive in a world of inescapable seductions...
They are neo-Vikings from a hidden underworld, in search of
women Outsiders to breed for the New Sweden clan. Their
sexy leader, Otar, wants only one woman: Madalyn.
Overpowered by his masculine strength and unmasked desire,
Madalyn must become Otar's wife or face the marriage
auction block. Now, in a world beyond dreams and as real as
the hot flesh of her enticing warrior-husband, Madalyn
discovers the power of an all-consuming passion -- as the
fires of revolution threaten all she has come to love...
