Description
This arranged marriage is my last hope for a better future.The city’s best matchmaker has all but despaired over me and my brother is threatening to throw me on the street if I don’t find a husband soon.But the revulsion I feel every time anyone touches me has made it impossible for me to find a good match. All men want a willing wife in their bed, not a wretch who cringes away from the slightest brush of skin against skin.The man who finally chooses me is not human at all. He’s an orc with long black hair, green skin, and more muscles than anyone could possibly need. He says I’m his mate.All my life, I’ve done what others wanted, but now I have a choice. To remain here at my brother’s mercy or leave for the orc kingdom.And for once, I’m willing to head into the unknown.Her Orc Husband is an orc fantasy romance and features an orc hero who would rather spend time in his library than court a human and a heroine who will learn to enjoy closeness again. You’ll like it if you enjoy reading about size difference issues, grumpy heroes, and timid heroines who bloom in the right environment. This is a Bellhaven Clan story but can be read as a standalone with a full HEA.
