Aurora Bakker can't comprehend how she's become involved in a life threatening car accident. She's lived her life for others, strives to do and be good. So why did a man on his phone swerve into her lane and drive her off the road? Why did her car flip twice and end up totaled in a ditch? And why did it have to happen during midterm season? Aurora, or Rory, Bakker is president of the environmental club at Daxton University. From a young age, she knew that her life would be dedicated to saving the Earth- trying to reverse, or at the very least stop, the destruction caused by humans. In order to do this, she disciplined herself. Her entire life was school, work, and research and she wouldn't let anything get in the way of goals. But then she almost dies, and the reflection of her life is more scary than death itself.
Oliver Davies is her saving grace. After a day of exams that kicked his ass, he'd been on his way to the Friday night party to drink his worries away. That is until the car in front of him ran off the road. As a witness to the accident, he called the police to make a report and stopped to aid Aurora. After watching her almost die, literally holding her in his arms as she bled an unhealthy amount, he couldn't shake her. Oliver Davies, hockey superstar, had a crush- which is the last thing he ever wanted. The example of 'love' he received from his parents made him emotionally unavailable and avoidant as hell. So when this beautiful, passionate girl comes into his life in a way that feels like fate, Oliver knows he's in trouble.
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?
