"‘I would worship you if you let me.’ And I would. Gods, I’d fall to my knees at the altar of her body and roar her holiness to the stars."
AMELIA Grandma Ruth’s Tolkien-inspired bed-and-breakfast holds a secret, a broken interstellar gate. She tells me my grandfather wasn’t human, but an orckin who had come to Earth through the gate, and returned to his home planet through it. Getting the gate to work to find him was the easy part. Now, face-first in the dirt of his home planet, I have no plan. No way to get back, either. Rhuger finds me. A seven-foot-tall green orc bristling with weapons whose sinful mouth and dark laughter make my heart race. With his help as my bodyguard, I’m navigating this new world. But I’ve been given two weeks by the Rìgh of the Oc’Dellor to find a mate within the clan, or risk being married off to avoid war. I know who I’d choose if I could. But Rhuger has made it clear that I am his duty, nothing more. Though he can’t keep his hand out of mine. RHUGER Never in a thousand years did I imagine finding a lush female within the Craobh na Beatha, the holy six-winged tree. She’s orckin, but not entirely. Amelia’s a rare beauty, but I’m an exile from a rival clan, barely accepted into the Oc’Dellor despite my prowess as a warrior. Appointed as her bodyguard, I keep having to remind myself that someone like her is not meant for someone like me. But it’s not just Amelia’s soft curves and bowed mouth that haunts my dreams. It’s how she perceives and moves through my world with awe and gentleness, how her touch awakens something within me. When Rìgh Orok of the Oc’Turin makes a play for her hand, I’d do anything to prevent her from living the nightmares of my past. Including fighting against everything that would tear us apart in order to make her mine. |

I have sought to be thorough in identifying potential triggers, both explicit and mentioned, including kinks and mental health awareness. This is for the comfortability of readers who are sensitive to triggering content and because I believe in the informed consent of my readers. If you find any mentions of triggering content that I have not included, email me at [email protected] so I can address it within reason.
Please note that chapter titles marked with an * mean there are explicit scenes. I’ve included mentions of triggering content below, though they are not specially marked in the chapter titles. Some triggers are generalized throughout the book and aren’t specifically identified in the chapter breakdowns (i.e. misogyny). I do not write rape scenes. However, characters have that as part of their backstory and there are questionable consent moments (immediately stopped, addressed, and resolved). List of General Triggers: Misogyny, Extinction, Gaslighting, Societally Expected Pregnancy, Fear of Plague List of Explicit Triggers: Attempted Sexual Assault, Explicit Violence, General Violence & Assault, Violence with Weaponry, Corpse Mutilation, Pregnancy, Harassment, Dubious Consent (addressed, and resolved) List of Mentioned Triggers: Mentioned Sexual Assault, Mentioned Abuse, Mentioned Family Loss, Mention of Drowning, Mentioned Drug Use List of Kinks: Praise, Knotting, Pleasure Dom, Breeding, Exhibition, Voyeurism, Primal, Marking, Tandem Masturbation, Masochism, Spanking, Hair Pulling List of Mental Health Awareness: PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Autism, ADHD, General Neurodivergence, IED
