Orc’s Unwilling Bride - Kayla St. James
All my father wanted was to appease the orc clan that lived beyond our borders. Maybe after he made a deal they would stop their raids and maintain the peace of the lord’s lands and keep the promises they had broken again, and again. But what my father hadn’t bargained on was that the fearsome leader of the warlike clan at our doorstep, would want a bride in exchange for his peace.
A promise is a promise, and my sister will do her duty to our father, but when she disappears on her wedding day there is only one person who could take her place. Me. The last thing I want is to be tied to a filthy orc barbarian for the rest of my life. But if I do not—if I go against my father’s wishes and break the oath that was made, all of our lives are in danger.
The land is on the brink of war, and the orc clans have their own troubles. A rebel threatens the authority of the elf lords who control the strongholds to the south. And they might be strong enough to bring down even the mightiest bloodlines…
Orc’s Unwilling Bride is a dark fantasy romance. It contains dubious situations, mature content, and graphic violence some readers might find offensive and/or triggering.
