Falsely accused of murder, she takes a stranger's place as an orc's bride — and finds her fated mate.

Description

On the night of the Monster Hunt, an orc will claim me as his bride. When I’m falsely accused of murder, I steal the place of one of the women chosen for the Monster Mate Hunt. Each year, two of us must give ourselves to the orcs in exchange for their protection. I’m captured by Odik, the fierce leader of the Zephyr Clan.He takes me to his island home far out to sea where he tells me he won’t claim me until I’ve fallen in love with him. There’s something powerfully attractive about this strong orc that I can’t seem to resist. Soon, I’m not only falling for Odik, but I’m also savoring sharing my life with him. When my clan pendant flared, it meant Eleri was my fated mate, the woman I’ll love for a lifetime. She’s skittish and shy, and I’ll do anything to keep her safe. But with a storm approaching the island, threatening my clan and our very existence, we must work together to survive. After that, I’ll show her how precious she is to me—then claim her as my bride.Orc’s Mate is set in the Monster Mate Hunt Series and takes place five years before Orc’s Craving. 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.Books in Orc’s Mate (Prequel)Orc’s CravingOrc’s FateOrc’s MaidenOrc’s CaptiveOrc’s Taming
