Fated to the Orc by Luna Hunter

She came to study him. Not fall for him. And definitely not to carry his child.

Dr. Evelyn Carter is a brilliant geneticist desperate for a breakthrough — and a paycheck. When she accepts a high-paying off-world research assignment on Xavros, humanity’s first habitable alien colony, she thinks she’s there to study the exotic wildlife.
What does she find instead?
A massive, green-skinned orc warlord chained to a slab.
And he has only one thing on his mind: Claiming his mate.
Varkul of Clan Blackfang is the last of his line, a battle-hardened orc with nothing left to lose. His people are dying, their women infertile. But when he lays his eyes — and his hands — on the curious, defiant human female sent to study him, his primal instincts roar to life. She’s not just a scientist.
She’s his.
Trapped in a high-security research facility together, Evelyn must decide if she’s willing to risk everything for love, freedom… and the child she might already be carrying.

Perfect for fans of steamy alien romance, fated mates, and savagely protective monsters with a soft spot that only their heroines ever see. Fated to the Orc is the explosive start to the Xavros Mates series. One growly green warlord, one smart and sassy scientist, and all the monster-loving heat you crave.
