Tamed by the Outcast (Forbidden Territories #3)
Scarlett Monroe
Thorne is seven feet of brutal scars, silver-streaked hair, and a past he’s trying to bury. Retired from decades as a mercenary, he moved to Oakwood Heights for isolation, not connection. But Madeline treats him like a person instead of a monster, and her kindness is as dangerous as any weapon he ever faced.
When a winter storm traps them together and Thorne’s heat suppressants run out, the primal Orc mating instincttakes over. He locks himself in the basement to protect her. But Madeline is done being the invisible, sexless wife who shrinks to fit someone else’s expectations. She walks into the dark to help him—and what happens over three snowbound days changes everything.
Thorne discovers that Madeline isn’t fragile. She’s strong enough to take everything he is—the scars, the need, the claiming desperation of the Rut. And Madeline finally understands what it means to be wanted exactly as she is: too loud, too needy, too much.
By the time the snow clears, the neighborhood is scandalized. The HOA wants them gone. But Madeline has never cared less what people think—because she’s finally found a man who sees all of her and still can’t get enough.
Can be read as standalone.
