Blurb for The Viking's Curse
I'm cursed. There's no cure for what ails me. I'm part man, part draugar; a Viking warrior shifter who protects the dead. I'm a selfish bastard, numb to the world around me, surviving only to avenge my wife and mother's murder. One emotion —anger—keeps me alive. At least, it did until I met TJ Knight and my icy heart began to beat once more.
I was all wrong for her yet I craved her in ways I never imagined. So making a deal with her to save that cute ass from a death mark probably wasn't the smartest thing I'd ever done. If I could manage to keep my hands off her, I might just stay in one piece.
The other thing? It turns out we have a mutual enemy. If we can work together, we might be able to find and destroy him. Trouble is, now it seems I have to kill TJ to give her a chance at living. Killing was my favourite thing but bringing her back to life? Now that might prove a problem...
Excerpt
I wasn't sure what was happening. One minute I was investigating the fourth grave robbing in four days at Woodland Creek's cemetery, the next I was surrounded by something altogether not human.
It wasn't the first time I'd faced something weird—it was simply a normal day at work for me usually—but this one was pure evil through and through. I could smell him a mile off, his scent was musky and sweaty and bloody nasty. And that meant that I was in deep doo-doo.
"Buddy, I don't know what your problem is, but all I want to do is walk away. Preferably with all my limbs attached. How about you back off so I can go home? I won't have to kick your ass and you don't have to eat mine." The words were full of bravado and I wanted to laugh at how tough I sounded. It was an act I'd perfected since working at this job. The army didn't have a lick on the perils of working for the heavens. When they'd recruited me in Rome, no one had said anything about lying my peachy backside off to stay alive. I'd be sure to add that to my CV if I ever found I needed a career change.
Which was definitely becoming more probable by the second.

About the Author:
Multi-published author, Xandra James, has always wanted to write romance books. Even when she was sneaking peaks at the hot bits, too young to fully appreciate them, she dreamt of writing her own.
Now, older and wiser, she's got the opportunity to project her slightly dark and wacky, British sense of humour onto others, whilst still writing the hot bits - bonus!
When not writing, Xandra is thinking of excuses as to why she shouldn't be doing the housework, looking after a husband and cats that refuse to pick up after themselves and climbing the mountain in her house that's affectionately called her tbr pile.
She currently holds the crown for Queen Procrastinator – something she's very proud of – so you can usually find her online, somewhere, when she really should be writing.
