The written rules were simple.
Uno. Go to the P.O box the 1st of every month.
Due. Do not open it until I return home.
Tre. Spend the cash however I want.
The unwritten rules were anything but.
When I first received the letter with instructions, I was drowning in debt, struggling to pay tuition,
about to lose my apartment...so the decision was made pretty easily.
Don't judge - Wouldn't you follow a letter verbatim if it said you'd receive ten thousand dollars
monthly?
The only problem is, every loan I took, every dollar I spent, everything given to me was debt.
And now I'm expected to pay it all back with my body.

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?
