Stranded on an uncharted island during an expedition gone wrong, Lyra must find a way to not only escape the strange island but survive its brutal environment and the creatures that lurk there. The last thing Lyra expected on this expedition is to end up stumbling into the territory of a highly aggressive and highly territorial beast that sees her as its next meal...or so she thinks. ----- Lyra has always suffered from a fear of snakes, ever since she was a young girl. She has done well to avoid the scaly creatures and keep her distance from them even while working as a toxicologist who researches and makes lifesaving cures for snake bite victims.

It also doesn't help when their helicopter suddenly malfunctions and the group ends up crash-landing in the middle of a dense jungle with no way of contacting the outside world for help. and to make things worse for poor Lyra, something seems to be stalking her in this new and unfamiliar environment. It's bad enough she's trapped with no way home in such a dangerous place, but when she comes across signs of a monster lurking somewhere on this uncharted isle, she comes to find that the worst of her nightmares have only just begun. because the thing that's been stalking her from the shadows as fangs and scales just like the creatures she fears the most, with intentions of keeping her trapped with it on the isle.

COMPLETED ON PATREON Loralei has nothing to her name except a potty mouth, excellent aim, and a great understanding of how best to earn coin. Juggling three jobs, she works tirelessly to support her family of various orphans and aged adoptive parents. Things start happening in her town after the arrival of a mysterious shifter. Bodies without spines and melted buildings become bad for business. To make matters worse, a disease that has plagued her father has now resurfaced and two more are afflicted. One treatment would take years of savings, but three is impossible. Lora takes a work contract with few details and pays more than all three combined. +++++ Orenoir loves killing and money. The two go hand in hand with a job as a bounty hunter. Humans are as disposable as they are weak, too easy to accidentally unalive, so he is not just shocked to find his mate among them, he is horrified. Torn between his desire and brutality, Oren cannot decide what to do with her especially when she tests him constantly. Fighting the urge to destroy everything and carry her off, he posts a job that she cannot refuse.

He's a fearsome, brutal orc-and she's his reluctant human bride. For centuries, the peace in Fellhaven has been kept by the humans sending brides to their neighboring Orc Kingdom. When Princess Henria's sickly sister Luisa is selected as a Tribute, Henria sees an opportunity to save her sister and to get out of her own arranged marriage to an elderly duke, and takes her place. Henria's sure she won't even see an orc; she'll escape the caravan and make her way to a life of freedom before any of those monsters can use her as breeding stock. But can she resist being claimed by the surprisingly alluring, shockingly muscular Orc King Rokhar? Or will she find herself submitting to his rule...and to his desires?
