In the tranquil embrace of a provincial town, Caspian Asher Jyrgal Wilder, a charismatic and mysterious young man, captivates the attention of the locals with his magnetic charm. Unbeknownst to him, his heart is ensnared by the radiant and elusive Vesperine Noir Ramirez Hawthorne, who harbors a secret admiration for him. Despite her efforts to conceal her feelings, Caspian remains oblivious, his affection directed elsewhere.
As days turn into months, Vesperine watches from a distance as Caspian's affections blossom for another, her own heart silently aching with each passing moment. Yet, destiny weaves its own tapestry as Caspian begins to see Vesperine in a new light, her quiet grace and unwavering devotion slowly melting the barriers around his heart.
Caught in the delicate dance of emotions, Caspian finds himself drawn to Vesperine, realizing too late the depth of her love for him. Amidst the backdrop of provincial life, they navigate the complexities of unrequited love and newfound affection, ultimately discovering that sometimes the one we seek is closer than we ever imagined.
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?
