Tagline:
Two fierce Celtic Warriors with a thirst for vengeance, and the proud
Viking lady with the strength to submit.
Blurb:
Left penniless and without a home by a sudden, tragic turn of events,
twenty-year-old Kristin Lofnsdottir plans to start a new life as a seafaring
trader. If she is going to have any chance at surviving, however, let alone
succeeding, she'll need money and capable men to protect her. A partnership
with a pair of Celts offers both, but Kristin quickly realizes that the
arrangement will mean sharing much more than just her profits. The two stern,
handsome brothers intend to make her theirs, demanding obedience, punishing
defiance, and mastering her beautiful body together.
Though Nyle and Bowdyn have been given plenty of reason to hate Vikings over the years, conquering the feisty, headstrong Kristin proves even more satisfying than they had anticipated. As they claim her ever more thoroughly and shamefully, her need for them only grows more intense, but can they be firm enough to tame her recklessness before it puts them all in danger?
Publisher's Note: Her Celtic Masters is a stand-alone sequel to Conquered by the Viking. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Excerpt:
“You should not
come in,” she whispered when they arrived there. “Someone might see…”
Bowdyn shrugged.
“Would you prefer we fuck you out here? I am quite convinced we would attract
much more attention were we to try that approach.”
“Do not be
ridiculous,” she hissed.
“Kristin is
right. It is much too cold to contemplate such a notion.” Nyle reached around
her to open the door. “Come, we shall build a fire and make ourselves
comfortable within.”
Kristin stood in
the middle of her home, her hands on her hips and her irritation rising almost
as quickly as her apprehension. She watched as the Celts set about the homey
tasks of tending to the fire, lighting lamps and helping themselves to
her—well, Merewyn’s—mead. Once matters were arranged to their apparent
satisfaction, Nyle sat astride the bench she had set closest to the fire pit
and beckoned her to approach. Uncertain what else she might do, Kristin obeyed.
He tilted his
head to one side and gazed up at her. “You appear somewhat confused, Kristin.
And perhaps even a little scared.”
“I am not afraid
of you,” she retorted.
“Good. That is
as it should be.”
“I am just…” She
paused, drew in a breath, “I am not sure what you want me to do. This is all
so… so strange to me. I do not know what you expect.”
“We expect you
to obey us.” This from Bowdyn, who had approached to stand behind her. “Did we
not mention this yesterday?”
“Yes. No… I am
not quite sure…”
“Your memory is
not usually so unreliable. A spanking will help with that.”
Kristin did not
agree but chose instead to take issue with his suggestion that her recollection
of events was flawed. “I do remember. I remember that you described me as
strong-willed and obstinate.”
“Yes, and those
are fine qualities for one engaged in trade. They are less needful in a woman
who seeks to please her men.”
“But how? How
can I please you? I have no idea what to do.”
“You were wed,
were you not? A recent widow when first we met.”
“I do not think
my husband shared my bed on more than a half dozen occasions, and even then, he
was never…”
Bowdyn cupped
her face between both his palms and ceased her halting explanation with a kiss.
Just as he had the previous evening, he silenced her with his lips and Kristin
melted in his arms.
His tongue
probed her mouth as before, the intimacy causing her to clench even more.
Bowdyn broke the kiss and nuzzled the end of his nose against hers. “We will
tell you what you should do, and you will do it. Yes?”
“Yes,” she
breathed. “Yes, please.”
Bowdyn stepped a
pace back and folded his arms. His handsome features took on a sternness she
was beginning to recognise. “I intend to spank you. Nyle will watch, and you
may rely on him to ensure you remain still and as quiet as possible while you
are punished. Then, when you are ready to accept instruction with rather less
in the way of argument, we shall proceed to more pleasant pursuits. You will
suck my cock, and at the same time Nyle will fuck you.”
She could only
gape at him. Kristin had no problem in comprehending his words, but the acts he
described were quite beyond her limited experience.
“I believe you
have shocked our little Viking, brother. You must learn to be more delicate.”
Nyle rose from the bench to trail the backs of his fingers down Kristin’s
cheek. “But even so, you should now gather your wits and obey, little one. You
may start by removing your clothes.”
More about Ashe Barker
USA Today best-selling
author Ashe Barker has been an avid reader of fiction for many years, erotic
and other genres. She still loves reading, the hotter the better. But now she
has a good excuse for her guilty pleasure – research.
Ashe tends to draw on her
own experience to lend colour, detail and realism to her plots and characters.
An incident here, a chance remark there, a bizarre event or quirky character,
any of these can spark a story idea.
Ashe lives in the North of
England, on the edge of the Brontë moors and enjoys the occasional flirtation
with pole dancing and drinking Earl Grey tea. When not writing – which is not
very often these days - her time is divided between her role as taxi driver for
her teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, tortoises. And a very grumpy cockatiel.
At the last count Ashe had
over forty titles on general release with publishers on both sides of the
Atlantic, and several more in the pipeline. She writes M/f, M/M, and
occasionally rings the changes with a little M/M/f. Ashe’s books invariably
feature BDSM. She writes explicit stories, always hot, but offering far more
than just sizzling sex. Ashe likes to read about complex characters, and to
lose herself in compelling plots, so that’s what she writes too.
Ashe has a pile of story
ideas still to work through, and keeps thinking of new ones at the most
unlikely moments, so you can expect to see a lot more from her.
Ashe loves to hear from readers. Here are her social media
