Did I mention I'm a new witch with telepathic powers? Yeah. It's a lot. Especially since every time I get near Aldronn, the commanding orc either wants to boss me around or bed me. Or boss me around while bedding me. 
 
Ugh. Why does that have to be so hot? I can never let him know! He'll be even more sinfully arrogant than he is now, and that wicked smirk of his already makes me want to scream . . . or kiss him. Or maybe both. Okay, it's totally both. 
 
I need to focus on our mission. My magic means I'm the only one who can talk to the goddess and figure out how to free her. We need her help more than ever, because dark fae have started to invade. But the mission means long nights alone with Aldronn, and there's only one tent . . . 
 
Bound to the Orc King is a steamy fantasy monster romance featuring a grumpy orc used to being in command and a sunshiny witch who never met a rule she didn't want to break. Welcome to the Moon Blade Clan, where heart-melting romance, toe-curling steam, magic, and adventure combine into stories you'll devour.
