The galaxy calls them monsters. He calls her his.

When my sister's debt came due, I signed myself away as a bride to the Khavvar, the horned warlords even pirates fear. I chose the monsters. I expected chains.

I did not expect General Vharrek to declare war on his own council just to keep me safe. And I really did not expect the ember-marks: the molten patterns that light up his body every time I walk into the room.

They say a hearthbond cannot be refused. He swears he will never force mine.

The World

Welcome to Station Vowhold.

A war is over. A strange peace begins. And the most feared warriors in the galaxy are learning to ask.

📜

The Accord

Human colonies pay their debts in bride contracts, but the brides do the choosing. Clause One makes sure of it: her choice is hers alone, at any time, in any hall, without penalty.

🔥

The Hearthbond

Molten marks that wake across a Khavvar's skin near his true match. The bond can flare, ache, and beg. It cannot finish without her yes. When he raises his marks in public, that is the asking, and by a law older than the Accord, it cannot be taken back.

🪨

The Khavvar

Obsidian skin, horns, and a culture that forbids touching the unbonded. The galaxy calls them monsters. Their brides learn the truth: nobody in the universe is more starved for one gentle hand.

About the author

Hi, I'm Dagny.

I write steamy sci-fi romance about growly alien warriors and the stubborn human women who bring them to their knees.

I believe every heroine deserves a hero who worships the ground she walks on, a bond that waits for her yes, and a happily-ever-after hot enough to melt a frozen moon.

When I'm not charting alien star systems, I'm drinking too much coffee, naming my houseplants after side characters, and rereading my comfort books until the spines give up.

Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhangers. Welcome aboard.

Good questions

Before you board the station

How steamy are these books?

High heat and open door, around 4 out of 5 flames, and always earned by the story. Every intimate scene moves the bond forward, and the bond always waits for her yes. For readers 18 and over.

Do I need to read in order?

No. Every book is one couple with a complete happily-ever-after and zero romantic cliffhangers. Reading in order (prequel, then Book 1 onward) just means you catch returning couples in cameo.

Will the books be in Kindle Unlimited?

Yes. Every full-length Khavvar Brides novel will be free to read in Kindle Unlimited. The prequel novella is a newsletter exclusive you can only get on this page.

Any content notes?

Explicit open-door scenes (18+), and references to debt servitude and past war trauma in backstory. No cheating, and no harm ever comes to the heroine from the hero. Full content notes appear in the front of every book.
