copy link copy title and author

He said it was a mistake. Then he made it again. And again.

Rowan didn't plan to kiss the orc. She definitely didn't plan to do it twice. But when you're on the run from a lord who thinks he owns you, sharing a bedroll with a seven-foot wall of scarred green muscle who growls your name like a prayer, plans stop mattering.

Theron is an exile—no clan, no name, nothing but a sword and the ghosts of a life that was stolen from him. He takes the job because twenty coppers is twenty coppers. He doesn't plan to care. He doesn't plan to wrap her feet every night, or learn the exact pitch of her laugh, or discover that her voice saying his real name is the only thing that's made him feel human in three years.

He definitely doesn't plan to fall in love.

But the road is long. The nights are cold. The bedroll is small. And Rowan has a way of walking through every door he's ever closed inside himself like it was never locked.

Now Lord Damon is hunting them both, and Theron has to decide what matters more—the safety of staying nobody, or the woman who makes him remember who he used to be.

Bound to the Exile is a spicy orc romance with a runaway heroine, a protective bodyguard hero, one bedroll between them, a slow burn that ignites, and a happily ever after worth fighting for. Savage Oaths Book Eleven. Standalone.
