The Lord's Debt: A Spicy Monster Fantasy Romance (Savage Oaths #14)

copy link copy title and author

He came to collect everything she had. He didn't expect her to fight back.

Isara Vane has held her family's crumbling estate together for six years with falsified ledgers, iron will, and the refusal to break. When the crown sends its most feared enforcer to her door with a writ of collection and sixty days on the clock, she doesn't beg. She makes him a deal.

Draek is orc-blooded, scarred, and very good at his job. He doesn't negotiate with debtors. He doesn't feel sorry for them. And he doesn't notice the way the lord's daughter reads a death sentence for her family's name without flinching — then folds it into her sleeve like she's filing it for later.

But the debt is a lie. And they're both hunting the man who built it.

Late nights over ledgers become arguments that draw blood. Arguments become something harder to name — the slow erosion of every wall between them, built brick by brick from shared enemies and dangerous proximity and the growing certainty that the person across the table is the most dangerous thing in the room. Not because of what they could take. Because of what they're making you want to give.

When the man behind the fraud strikes back, he doesn't aim at them. He aims at the person Isara would burn the world to protect.

Sixty days. A cellar full of stolen evidence. And a choice that will cost them everything — or each other.
