Winter Awakening — Amanda McIntyre

I can remember your strength and your gentleness. A strange combination, to be sure, but a potent and intoxicating one. Your pale blue eyes will haunt me for the rest of my days... for ours is a passion indulged only in darkness and ends now with the first shaft of daylight on the dawn of midwinter.

On Solstice eve long ago, a Druid priestess and Norse warrior succumb to forbidden, erotic desire. Their passion is one that neither death, decree -- nor time -- can tear asunder.

Now three women of later centuries begin their own sensual journeys, awakened by the ancient power of the priestess's words -- "Burn bright of winter's desire."
