Orc's Craving

Selected for the Monster Mate Hunt, I’m about to be claimed by an orc.

I spend my days collecting herbs, using them to cure whatever ails my fellow villagers living behind the high walls of the fortress. They say I’m foolish to venture outside the keep at night.

They whisper the orcs will capture me. What they’ll do after that is mere speculation. Those caught are never seen again.

When my sister is chosen for the Monster Mate Hunt—an annual event where two women must sacrifice themselves to the orcs for the good of us all—I volunteer in her place. That night, the orcs hunt me, their howls echoing around me as I bolt through the forest. I’m captured and claimed by one of the enormous, powerful orcs who protect the fortress in exchange for the chance to hunt for a bride.

My new husband, Commander Jaus, makes one demand after another, but he treats me with a gentleness I never expected from a monster. He expects me to cook and clean, plus sleep in his quarters with him at night, despite insisting he doesn’t want a mate.

Until something changes, and his dark, brooding gaze turns my way . . .

Orc’s Craving is Book 1 in the Monster Mate Hunt Series. Expect fated mates, found families, a distinctive size difference, and a “touch her and die” hero. Each book is standalone, but the series is best if read in order.
