I came to the Citadel to negotiate a treaty. I didn't expect to be claimed by the silent beast assigned to protect me.

I am Lady Isolde Valerius, a diplomat of the Southern Coalition. My weapon is a quill, my armor is silk, and my purpose is peace. I have trained my whole life to walk into a den of monsters without flinching.

But nothing prepared me for him.

General Rorik is known as "The Breaker." He is eight feet of scarred muscle and lethal silence, a berserker who crushes armies with his bare hands. He looks at me like I am made of glass, something fragile he is terrified to touch.

When a surprise siege shatters the peace talks, Rorik becomes my only hope for survival. Cut off from the fortress, we are forced to flee into the frozen hell of the Dead Lands.

Now, stripped of my titles and trapped in a cave with a warrior fighting his own primal instincts, the diplomat’s mask is slipping. The cold is killing me, and the only heat for miles is the massive body of the orc who has sworn to keep me safe.

Rorik believes he is a monster. He fears the "Battle Rut" that turns him into a mindless engine of destruction. But as the enemy closes in, I realize the monster might be exactly what I need.

And I might be the only one who can tame him.

Mated to the Orc Berserker is a high-heat, high-stakes monster romance featuring a silent, scarred hero and the brilliant human diplomat who steals his heart. Expect a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, massive size difference, forced proximity survival, and a possessive hero who will burn down the world to save his mate.
