I’m captured by the gruff, growly Commander Jaus, who expects me to cook and clean, plus sleep in his quarters with him at night, despite insisting he doesn’t want a mate.
Then something changes, and his dark, brooding gaze turns my way . . .
Jaus

Madr
When I abdicated the orc throne, I planned to live a simple life. I never expected the fates to bind me to Lyneth or that I’d fall for her so fast. But someone’s out to kill me, and if I don’t stop them, I won’t survive long enough to claim my new bride.

If an orc tries to take me, I’ll handle him just as I did the man in my village.
