The Miller’s Daughter and The Black Tusk (The Warband's Claim #1)

She was payment for peace. He was the orc who demanded her surrender… willingly.

When the Black-Tusk warband claims tribute from her village, miller’s daughter Lira expects brutality. Instead, she meets Gorak—towering, scarred, with one blackened tusk and a single iron rule: no force. Only choice.

He’ll wait for her to come to him. He’ll protect her in a camp of ruthless warriors. He’ll teach her exactly what it means to be claimed—body, heat, knot, and soul.

But the longer Lira stays, the harder it is to remember why she ever wanted to run. His patience is dangerous. His touch is fire. And the warband’s eyes are always watching.

A dark, slow-burn monster romance with primal claiming, knotting, forced proximity, and a possessive orc hero who only softens for one defiant woman. HEA guaranteed.

Perfect for fans of knotty orc romance, touch-her-and-die vibes, and bonds built on choice over chains.
