The Shadow Orc's Bride

He was sent to kill her.
Instead, he claimed her.

When a shadow orc assassin storms Queen Eliza Ducanis’s chambers, she expects death. But Rakhal—feared prince of shadows, sworn to strike down her bloodline—makes a choice that changes everything.

Instead of ending her life, he marks her as his.

Now Eliza finds herself trapped in his grasp, caught between fury and a dark fascination she cannot ignore. Draped in the velvet of his claim, bound to march into her own city under his protection, she must face the terrifying truth: this orc has no intention of letting her go.

He is her enemy. Her captor. Her would-be husband.
And the most dangerous temptation she has ever faced.
