Description
What would you do if you were told you had to marry a man who represents everything you fear?
Lady Della the Cold-Hearted
Lady Della despises all things Viking. They may rule the land, but they will never rule her. Unfortunately, her father doesn’t seem to agree. To prove his continued allegiance to the Viking king, the Ealdorman of Strathfeld betroths his only daughter to a respected Viking Lord—a warrior whose legendary prowess isn’t reserved for the battlefield. Fighting the newfound craving in her body and the unwelcome fire in her heart, Della must choose between everything she knows to be true and the one thing she never expected…
Lord Brant of Blackwell, the Fiery One
Lord Blackwell is as fiery on the battlefield as he is in his passions. He has fought valiantly as a knight for King Guthrum and has earned the respect of the nobles. When his overlord offers the hand of his beautiful daughter and the right to inherit his lands, Blackwell can hardly refuse. However, he soon discovers that his noble bride is anything but the meek and mild woman he envisioned for his wife. One minute she’s kissing him back, the next she’s swearing to do whatever it takes to dissuade him from their marriage.
Can his lust for life and his new bride melt the ice that surrounds her heart? Or will Lady Della the Cold be this warrior’s undoing?
She found herself unimpressed with him, having expected more of the legendary man—Brant. Lord Blackwell. Brant the Gladiator. Brant the Vigorous. Brant the Flame. Brant the Viking Hero. Della snorted in unladylike disgust. More like, Brant the Thorn in my Arse! -Lord of Fire, Lady of Ice

Note From the Author
Dear Readers,
What would you do if you were told you had to marry a man who represented everything you fear?
Della may come off as cold and indifferent, but she does it to protect herself. Childhood traumas and a lifetime spent trying to live up to expectations has made her the lady she has become. When her father orders her to marry an enemy in order to please a king, she has no choice by to obey. But it doesn't mean she has to like it...or her new husband.
Brant has worked hard to gain the notice of the king and looks forward to being off the battlefields. Too bad that when he agreed to marriage no one told him of the battles yet to come.
Like all my medieval historicals, I wrote these characters true to their time periods and full of emotions. If you enjoyed Maiden and the Monster, you'll enjoy Lord of Fire, Lady of Ice.
Happy Reading!
Michelle

Great Historical Rom you can get lost in!!
5By KjnnurplI love a good historical romance. They’re actually my favorite to read. A time of naivety, innovation, & romance. When the term “Making love” actually meant a man was “courting you” “wooing you”. And a “lover” was just another term of endearment towards the person of opposite sex that was either trying to vie or your hand or simply put a boyfriend/girlfriend that was steady & gave you attention & admiration. The simpler times where fairytale was spun off real tales. Who cares that All persons Lord/lady to the guy that shoveled after the horses had to deal with fleas, ticks. Where the castles were drafty & cold. The animals & some humans...were allowed to go about & piss & poop in the halls......& where the smell alone could kill us......but I digress...Loved these characters & their development. The storyline & the HEA. Maybe this is a series..?!! Would love to here of others getting their HEA too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. HAPPY READING!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Wonderful story
5By Poet817I loved this book so much.Great read
5By Adrian7619At first when I read about Della I thought she was a spoiled brat but as the story unfolds I realize that her past has colored her vision of Vikings. I really enjoyed seeing how she changes as she gets to know Brant. I love how he knew something was off about Stewart. Michele M. Pillow does an awesome job of writing a story with real emotions and leaves you wowed with her imagination.Historical romance!
4By JoJo TeodoroLord of Fire, Lady of Ice is a Medieval Historical Romance by Michelle M. Pillow. This is my first historical book so I honestly did not know what to expect at first. I also never read anything about the Vikings so I had to pre research pictures and background so that I could prepare myself. This was about an arranged married between Della and Brant Blackwell, a Viking Knight. This union was forge to merge properties and to mix bloods to secure the future. Their relationship started with a misunderstanding that became bigger and bigger due to their pride and inability to communicate with each other about how they truly feel. Brant is well-respected and is a capable leader. His fiery nature is evident in all that he does. Della has her heart locked up and thus earning the nickname of being cold. There were a lot of misunderstanding between these two, but there was also a lot of steamy scenes. This was a very historical romance so the way they talked was different so I did have a harder time realizing what they were saying. This was very different from what I am used to by Michelle, but I did enjoy it. I don't shy away from what I am used to. I can't wait to read more of Michelle's work! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.The “will they or won’t they” kept me spell bound
5By ContessajjWhen Della, a not so young innocent who has had a somewhat difficult life, is forced to marry Brant, a Viking war hero with a sensitive streak he tries to hide, these opposites refuse to attract. This read was so emotional because I liked the characters so much. Drawn into their world I was often brought to tears for this stubborn couple, but there was also merriment and sweet sexy times and I just couldn’t quit reading till their hard fought HEA.
