Her Gilded Firebird by Susannah Shannon

Lin is used to getting her own way. She’s learned to tell people what they want to hear and carry on with what she wants to do. Gunnar, the mysterious blacksmith has very different ideas about how a wife should behave and has no problem scorching her bare bottom for fibbing. It will take all of their combined courage, strength and love to meet their destiny and confront the icy evil that wants to claim all of the world.
Return to the magical world of the snowforce, where the men are dominant, the women are smart and your scars tell the world who you are. Set in a realm replete with magical creatures, noble, shifter warriors and true love, it’s a transporting read.
