Sacrificed to the Orc Warlord: A Steamy Monster Mate Romance Novella (Monster Mates & Brides Book 1)

My village called me witch, imprisoned me, and dragged me into the forest as tribute for the orc horde. I spat my final curse at the men who sold me but I'm determined to survive what's next.

Kaldor, the gruff, towering chieftain of the Ironfang clan, has no use for a shivering human sacrifice—but a healer who can mend his warriors and tend to winter fevers? Her, he'll keep. He gives me place at his fire. I teach him what I know of humans. Neither of us learns anything about keeping our distance.

Then comes the winter solstice, when the gods choose the chieftain's mate—and the sacred smoke passes over every orc female in the horde only to settle on me. The human. The "witch". Now I have to choose between bearing the warlord's heir or returning to my people.
