About the Book

He claimed me once. Now he’s back to finish the job.

Eight months ago, Maardok of the seafaring Battleborn clan spent a fortnight in my home and in my bed. Oh, I am no fool; a widowed mother like me knows the ramifications of such a reckless act. But everyone knows orcs and humans cannot breed.

It turns out, everyone was wrong.

Now my son and I have been banished, and face a harsh Highland winter on our own…as I grow great with child. Maardok’s child, an impossible child. But when he returns, he claims me before he even knows the truth of the miracle I carry. Can we make a place for ourselves in his world, even when my past threatens us all?

Warning: Get ready to melt when the fierce orc warrior turns soft for her human child, then busts out some severe touch-them-and-die energy in this new Fated Mates medieval fantasy!
