The offworlder who could not speak their language, and the warrior who did not want her.


Are you a fan of classic romance tropes - where the shy virginal heroine and the gruff strong warrior are thrust together against their wills? Do you also enjoy a story set in a far distant world with elements of emotional turmoil, rich world-building and memorable side characters… with a little bit of steamy sensual spice and a hero who values consent and does not harm the heroine? - then GIVEN TO THE WARRIOR might be for you!
