Visit Kristie at
Kristie and her husband have lived in all over the United States and many foreign
countries while following his career. While living in Japan, Kristie found it very difficult
to find books to read that were written in English. This situation was intolerable, as she
was an avid reader. In desperation she began writing her own books just to have
something to read. She discovered a new passion in writing; thus her career as a romance
novelist was born.
Although Kristie is originally from the South and still remains Southern at heart,
she and her husband now reside in a small town in the high desert of Southern Nevada in
between international assignments.

Setting the Scene:
1239 Norway. Tora and Earl Magnus have married, despite their dislike for each
other. Tora has just bathed in a forest pond. Proud and stubborn, she struggles with
Magnus’s domineering ways and her bewildering longing for his caresses.
Excerpt from LOVE THY ENEMY:
Magnus’s eyes narrowed at her biting reference to their marital arrangement.
“Sarcasm doesn’t become you, Tora,” he admonished.

“Then I shall use it more often,” she quipped. “Well, you’ve gotten your way,
now give me my clothes!” She approached Magnus and reached for her gown.
He whipped her garments behind his back, his eyes daring her to take them from
him. “’Tis very tempting to keep them,” he said, his voice rumbling with laughter. He
grinned at her. “You look angry enough to kill me with the daggers in your eyes! I am
glad you are not a man, Tora. Especially at a time like this.” He admired her feminine
curves.
A warm tingling built deep within Tora’s belly and spread under his caressing
eyes. He held out her clothes to her, but grabbed her when she reached for them. He drew
her to him, holding her cool, wet body against his hard warm masculine one. He kissed
her deeply and at length, leaving her breathless and trembling. He released her and
loosened his clothing. Tora shivered, every nerve poised to flee, but Magnus’s steady
gaze kept her mesmerized. He drew her down onto the bank with him.
“I should have taken you out here before. The sunlight makes your skin glow as it
caresses the curve of your breasts and hips,” he murmuredin appreciation. His hands and
mouth followed the path of the sun and soon Tora lay quivering, her hands clutching his
shoulders as he brought her expertly to that exquisite edge of supreme pleasure.
