Claimed: The Complete Novel

When Budd, a rugged human hunter, crosses paths with Gurth, an orc war leader deep in the throes of mating season, their collision is anything but gentle. Gurth’s need is raw, relentless, and unstoppable—he must mate or perish. What begins as an act of primal lust becomes something far more dangerous: a bond of unbreakable love that defies the customs of their world.

As Gurth drags Budd into the wilds of orcish territory, their connection only deepens. Gurth must share his mate’s raw warmth with his closest comrades to gain their blessing. After that, the whole tribe needs a taste, and Budd learns to embrace the brutal ritual pleasures of being claimed. With every heated encounter, their passion burns brighter, their bond unshakable—even as war looms on the horizon.

But love isn’t enough to quell the storm brewing around them. Gurth’s tribe is on the brink of destruction, enemies close in from every side, and ancient traditions demand more than just Budd’s loyalty. He must reconcile his human compassion with orcish brutality, even if the tribe’s uninhibited revelry leaves him quaking with desire.

As Budd helps raise Gurth’s half-orc son Brok, the couple dream of raising their family in a future where orcs and humans can live in unity, and they will fight—to the death, if need be—to reach that goal.
