Emma Davidson was running from her life—until she ran straight into a myth.

Lost in a deadly blizzard, she wakes to find herself in the stronghold of an orc clan the world believes vanished two decades ago. And the male who saved her?
Drak—chief, warrior, protector…and the most dangerously compelling man she’s ever met.

He should send her away.
He should pretend the bond sparking between them doesn’t exist.
He should not touch her.

But the fated-mate pull between them is undeniable—hot, primal, and impossible to fight.

Emma is human, a symbol of everything his people fear. Drak is an orc chief sworn to protect his clan at any cost. Their attraction could fracture the fragile peace his people have built. And if the outside world discovers the hidden settlement, it won’t just be Emma’s life on the line…

It will start a war.

As Emma struggles to earn the trust of a clan taught to hate her kind, and Drak fights the deepest, most dangerous desire he’s ever known, the bond between them burns hotter—stronger than fear, prejudice, or the secrets that could tear them apart.

But enemies are closing in.
Loyalties will be tested.
And claiming his mate might be the one thing Drak cannot afford to do.

Claimed by the Orc Chief launches the Ironpeak Orcs series—each book a standalone fated-mates romance following the five orc brothers who fall for their human mates.
Guaranteed HEA, high emotion, high stakes, and high heat intended for mature audience.
