His Stubborn Mate

Battleborn Orcs #2 / 2
by Veronika Kane
His Stubborn Mate (Battleborn Orcs #2) by Veronika Kane
Unrated
He claimed me once. Now he’s back to finish the job.

Eight months ago, Maardok of the seafaring Battleborn clan spent a fortnight in my home and in my bed. Oh, I am no fool; a widowed mother like me knows the ramifications of such a reckless act. But everyone knows orcs and humans cannot breed.

It turns out, everyone was wrong.

Now my son and I have been banished, and face a harsh Highland winter on our own…as I grow great with child. Maardok’s child, an impossible child. But when he returns, he claims me before he even knows the truth of the miracle I carry. Can we make a place for ourselves in his world, even when my past threatens us all?

Warning: Get ready to melt when the fierce orc warrior turns soft for her human child, then busts out some severe touch-them-and-die energy in this new Fated Mates medieval fantasy!

Also known as His Enemy Mate Book 2.

Veronika Kane

Veronika Kane is the monster-loving alter-ego of USA Today Bestselling Author Caroline Lee. One of Caroline's favorite genres to read is SciFi Romance, which led her to monster romance. When she discovered it was possible to set big, buff, delicious monsters in contemporary cozy small towns, she was sold. And that's how she ended up with a new pen name and a new series.

Welcome to the town of Eastshore Isle, the only beach town on the east coast experiencing negative population growth. You know who's going to help save the town? That's right; super-sexy, laugh-out-loud orcs.

Just like Caroline's HistRomComs, except greener.
