The Wolf of House Tyr

Sigrid Tyr is thirty-eight, runs a shipping empire, and has spent her entire adult life not asking what her family does with the second half of its money. Then her uncle dies in a boating accident that isn't one, and the family council hands her a marriage she can't refuse. His name is Erik Valdemar. He's the family's lawyer. He's also rumored to be the man who actually runs the network her family has been quietly feeding for three generations. The marriage is meant to bind him to her publicly and open his records. It works both ways. Within six weeks, Sigrid is shifting in her own basement for the first time in her life — the strain that skipped two generations, the one the family has been waiting on. Erik has known about it since before the wedding. They want the same thing, it turns out. They just want it for very different reasons.
