Publisher's Summary
He’s a massive, mocking, murderous monster. And she's offering him...everything.
In a world of recently warring orcs and men, Maria is desperate for escape. She’s trapped in an opulent prison, tainted by rumours of madness, and wed to a cold, vindictive duke who hungers only for war.
But with no family, no funds, and no hope, there’s nowhere left to run—except for the one place even a duke can’t reach. The place where women almost always meet their doom: Orc Mountain.
It’s a grim, deadly fortress, filled with fierce, bloodthirsty beasts. The first orc Maria meets is the most terrifying of them all. A huge, hostile, hideous brute, hardened by hatred and war, who instantly accuses her of foul trickery, and threatens her with death.
But this orc also wants something...something that kindles deep in his gleaming black eyes, in his rough, rugged scent, in the velvet heat of his voice. Something that just might grant Maria his safety…but only if she grants him everything in return.
Her defeat.
Her dignity.
Her devotion.
Surely a duchess wouldn’t dare make such a shameful deal with the devil—or would she? Especially when surrender might spark yet more war...or bring the mighty Orc Mountain to its knees.
A dark, angsty, full-length fantasy romance. Comes after The Librarian and the Orc in the Orc Sworn series, but also acts as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

Story5 out of 5 stars 4
Perched between branches and shadows, we watch, we scheme, fighting for a kingdom forgotten and forlorn. Until we rip her away with our claws, our prisoner, our pawn, our plaything. She’s innocent and pure, fragile and helpless…but oh so guilty by blood. She calls us beasts, wicked and evil, vicious and cruel. We are all that and worse. One of us offers her shelter beneath his wings, whispering promises of pleasure, seeking redemption. The other longs to shatter her into a million pieces, whispering promises of pain, seeking revenge.

But while my warriors will soon have the stomachs of their new mates swell with daughters, I know this planet holds nothing for me.

Enforce me, Simon! 😈
Shane East delivers a perfect performance AGAIN! I can’t begin to stress how amazing Shane’s voice is. Simon is brought to life and Maria delivers all the drama (!!).
Simon hits different, you ken? He doesn’t belittle Maria or make her feel small, stupid, and hysteric; rather he enforces her, teaches her, brings her into the light! Shane gets the heavy accent and growling perfectly.
Historical romance + monster lover (hulking orc) + marriage of convenience/arranged marriage (mate) trope. M/F but there’s some side M/M
Highly recommend this entire series in print and audio. 10/10 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
