What do you do when you're a tenth century Viking who finds himself shipwrecked in the twentieth century? Why, you head for the nearest longboat and try to get back to your own time. The only problem is, the longboat Geirolf Ericsson needs to get him home is half-built and the property of a woman who talks funny and asks too many questions. Questions he can't begin to answer, like how he got to present day Maine. Dr. Meredith Foster knows the imposing and devastatingly handsome man who has invaded her house can't possibly be a real Viking. Meredith is convinced it's some kind of a hoax, but she is willing to go along with the game as long as Rolf can help her finish building the Viking longboat her grandfather started. But keeping her distance from the virile Viking proves more than the lonely professor can handle. And the thought of losing him does funny things to her heart. Sandra Hill's romantic and raucous tale of time-crossed lovers will touch your heart- and your funny bone. She paints a vivid picture of Rolf, the drop dead gorgeous Viking who needs Merry-death to get back to his own time and fulfill a promise to his father. Meredith is delightful as the staid professor at odds with the macho man from the past. Their relationship is full of passion, and enough humor to make you laugh out loud.
