Orc's Captive

Summary

Can a wounded orc hero protect his treasured mate from a cruel captor?

Nia: I spend my days healing those forced to battle in my stepbrother's arena and my nights hiding. I've resigned myself to the fact that with my burn scars, I'll never find love. Until my stepbrother commands me to heal his latest acquisition—an orc who was severely injured during capture. I've only heard of orcs, but I do my best to heal him and prepare him for the battles he'll soon face.

As I care for Dakur's wounds, we exchange glances that slowly grow heated. It's not long before I'm falling in love for this gruff, stoic warrior who's as trapped here as me.

Can we find a way free to finally be together?

Dakur: I barely remember being captured, and I've suffered since, forced to fight in a ring while humans bet on the outcome. The only good thing in my life is Nia, the human woman who sparked my clan's pendant. She's my fated mate, though I doubt I'll live long enough to be with her. But as we fall deeper in love, I know I must find a way.

I'm going to get us out of this trap, and then I'm claiming Nia as mine.
