Stolen from her bed in the middle of the night, Rimi is shipped across the ocean to a strange land and kept in a cage like an animal. She's almost given up hope for escape when a good-natured, roguish troll is assigned to be her new caretaker. Lo'zar is a petty criminal, smuggling illicit goods from one place to another while enjoying his life as a carefree player. But when he's tasked with transporting a human woman to a buyer, he wonders if he's really doing the right thing. As Lo'zar grows fond of the clever, sweet Rimi, he knows he has to help her—even if freeing her means putting his life on the line. Can they survive the dangers of the jungle together and get Rimi back home?This is a super steamy, standalone monster romance (50k words) that takes place in the Trollkin Lovers universe, and incorporates characters from previous books, but can be read alone. It features a guard/captive dynamic, size difference, a male troll who's a knight in shining armor, a high-class FMC, a language barrier, breeding, and a little magic. A guaranteed HEA!
