Tusks Under Binding Conditions

One collision in a government waiting room binds Sabine Lin to a tusked bounty hunter she still treats as a threat to national security.

A blood-magic bond makes her legally, magically, and eternally his, and it does not ask either of them for permission.

She wants an annulment; he wants to know why her hands shake whenever he is close.

When the enemies from his past learn he has something to lose, they come for Sabine and force him to prove how much protection he will put between her and them.

She expects the Department to undo the mistake within months, but the appointment meant to dissolve the bond will not remain simple paperwork.
