Barbarian's Seduction: A SciFi Alien Romance (Ice Planet Barbarians Book 20) Read online

  (Thank you again, Sophie!!)

  I know there is a lot of love and support for Icehome and after this visit at Croatoan, the next two books should be both Icehome, which means the broader story will be moving forward. Stay tuned! I have some fun stuff up my sleeve.

  Much love,

  Ruby!
