She wanted a raise. She got an orc warlord instead.
When Mira gets sent to fetch a necklace for her noble mistress, she expects a dull afternoon and maybe a scolding if she's late. She doesn't expect the village to be burned to the ground by orc raiders or to be dragged off by the biggest, most terrifying orc she's ever seen.
Now, Mira is the unlikely prize in a game of orc politics, where power is taken by blood and pleasure can be just as dangerous as pain. Gharzul wants to unite the fractured orc clans, shake the kingdoms of men, and claim Mira as his own. She's just trying not to lose her head (or her heart) as lust and loyalty pull her in opposite directions.
If you love steamy monster romance, power dynamics, feisty heroines, and orc alpha males who play rough but respect a no The Maid and the Warlord will hook you from page one. Packed with intense chemistry, court intrigue, dirty talk, and enough heart to keep you turning pages deep into the night.
Perfect for fans of monster smut, spicy fantasy romance, and anyone who ever wished losing their crappy job meant a promotion to orc queen.
