Orc's Bait

Abducted from a quiet New Mexico mesa, environmental science student Sage lands in the worst kind of culture shock: a lush, dangerous alien moon where she’s been bought as a royal "gift." But Sage has spent her life studying how to survive in the wild, and she has zero intention of playing a captive.

Enter Lord Xutag, a massive, scarred outcast who rejected his family, lives in a jungle cave with a private waterfall, and is entirely unprepared for the tiny, fierce human who just kneed him in the groin. As vicious alien predators close in and palace politics threaten to tear them apart, Sage and Xutag discover a primal, undeniable bond known as resonance.

Packed with high-stakes action, simmering tension, and a heroine with teeth who refuses to be anyone's property, Orc’s Bait is an unforgettable sci-fi romance about rebellion, fierce love, and finding home in the wildest of places.
