She's loved him all her life...and just found out he's real.

When Dominic Raven sent his crew into cryo-sleep after their ship crashed, he expected to awaken after only a few hours, not thirty-seven years. But the manner of his waking is even more surprising?bundled into a fur cloak with a very beautiful, naked woman.

Gudrin Torsdotter has always been fascinated by the gray man, the life-size image who warns intruders away from the sky ship that brought her people to an ancient land and time many years ago. But when she accidentally wakes the captain of the ship, she learns the gray man is a real person who is much more fascinating than the image.

While these two navigate their growing love, they discover that Dom's ship didn't crash on Gudrin's planet by accident. Faced with betrayal and an impossible choice, the Viking shield maid and the starship captain must discover a way to save both their worlds and find their happily ever after.
