Ean
Becca Saylor · Bladebound Orcs #1
She tried to kill the orc chief — he thought she was proposing. Now she has to play along.
Description
Fiona is a highlander, born and raised. Just like any decent highlander, she loathes orcs. Ean is the chief of the Mornal orc clan - a clan that is doomed to diminish because of winter battles with monsters in the underland. When Fiona challenges Ean with his own blade during an autumn raid, she is proposing in the most orcish way possible. He leaps at the chance for a bladebound mate, the first blessed by the Goddess Diana in centuries. The problem? Fiona meant to kill him, not mate him. With his anxious clan and a vengeful orc ex aware of his every move, Ean has to figure out a solution. What he comes up with?“Pretend to be my bladebound mate, Fiona. Just until Gyda doesn’t want to disembowel me.”How far will Fiona go with their fated farce? Her way home and the return of her village’s food is on the line. The keen senses of orcs means she has to give her act her all. What happens when Fiona’s pretending stops feeling like a lie? This is an M/F orc romance. There is a HEA. Be aware of CW's within.
