Synopsis
She made a family with a monster. And now he’s come home… In a world of orcs and men, Raye will never forgive Kalfr. The tall, handsome orc who gave her a perfect son, and a happy ending… Until she learned the horrible truth. Kalfr wasn’t just hers. He was bound to another orc. To Gaelfr . A huge, hostile, dangerous monster. In the seven years since, Raye has fought to erase Kalfr from her life, and protect her precious son. But she’s sinking into poverty and danger, with no one she can trust… Until Gaelfr shows up at her door. He’s still huge, vicious, and hateful — but once he sees Raye’s plight, he refuses to leave. He claims that due to his unbreakable vow with Kalfr, Raye is now… his . His to protect. His to feed and support. His to touch, and taste, and tend however he sees fit… And if that wasn’t enough, Gaelfr swears to bring Kalfr back home. To make them a family again. It’s an appalling plan, and one Raye would never accept… right? But maybe it’s already too late. She’s already made a family with her ex, and a monster. And now, they’re both coming home. Forever . _____________________ A dark, angsty, enemies to lovers fantasy romance. Comes after The Artist and the Orc , but reads as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.
