His fans love his charming and confident manner, as well as his openness about his bisexuality and being a Dom. THORFINN JÓNSSON is a specialist in medieval martial arts and works as a consulting swordsman for film productions worldwide. Although Finn is not a fan of casual flings, he loves the world of kink and being a Dom. When Finn and Jamie meet at a club, they’re immediately attracted to each other, and the unfamiliar desire to submit to the charismatic Icelander turns Jamie's carefully constructed world upside down. As preparations for a new film are underway and an ominous threat hovers over Jamie, they are forced to work together under Iceland's stunning midnight sun. Will they succeed in forging a connection despite both considering themselves dominants, or will they drift apart? Midnight Sun is the first book in the Northbound Series. Each book follows a new couple and can therefore be read as a standalone. Content Warning: mild kink including bondage and spanking, a stalker (not one of the MCs) and scenes of violence. Prologue Thorfinn From the flanks of the mountains the drumming of hooves echoes. The air is crisp and clear, and the wind is playing with Finn’s hair. The sun stands red and foreboding in the West.

There’s a flicker of gold in his mind’s eye, a hint of a smile, gone too fast to grasp. They climb a steep slope, and Finn can hear the screams of the skuas and the crashing of the waves. The ocean is close. He slows his horse down as they reach a little church looking out over the fjord, its white walls painted red in the light of the midnight sun. Finn slips out of the saddle and closes his hand around the hilt of his sword. He has a feeling he might need it. The church’s heavy oak doors open between one blink and another, the room beyond shrouded in darkness. A sense of fear makes his steps falter and, at the same time, there’s this feeling of urgency again. He needs to go inside no Chapter 1 Jamie Jamie steps out of the bathroom, leaving wet droplets on the marble floor. He towels off his hair, following the female voices from the living room. Bev has invited guests again, although they’ve other plans for the evening. On the other hand, a few pictures of him partying with some celebrities before heading out to London’s most infamous BDSM club would be good publicity. So why does the thought of bragging about his perfect life to a bunch of strangers and listening to their exaggerated stories in return make him feel sick? Jamie doesn’t dwell on the thought, but plasters a practiced smile on his face. He’ll make a good entrance dripping wet with only a towel slung haphazardly around his waist. “Good evening, ladies,” he drawls, surprised that instead of a flock of young starlets ready to party, he only finds Bev talking to a woman with short blond hair. Their guest turns and scrunches up her nose as she takes in Jamie’s appearance. Oh no. “Gosh, James. Put something on, will you?” his cousin says in a vaguely disgusted tone. “I called Rose,” Bev states the obvious, and Jamie has to bite down on a snide remark. “Hi, Rose. Do
