Synopsis (Goodreads):

I married a dead war hero.

His name was Fire Lieutenant Byric Sandstone—an extremely wealthy Hyrrokin landowner, with a complicated estate.

Obviously, I’m not really his widow. It’s a technicality, on paper so I could bypass immigration and perform my duties. Everyone but the lawyer who forged the signature thinks I’m really Byric’s chosen bound, but my real job is to care for his elderly grandmother and his three-headed wulver. I love my cushy life on Tarvos.

One night, the front door to the mansion bursts open. A disheveled, wild-eyed and monstrous Lieutenant Sandstone returns home, having escaped from his prison cell behind enemy lines.

Wait, my husband isn’t dead?

“Who the hell are you?” he rasps.

“Your bound,” I whimper from underneath the sheets.

Oh no. How is this going to work out?

Thoughts on His Human Widow: We're back on Tarvos with a human lady who finds herself in a bit of a pickle when the Hyrrokin male she's "married" to suddenly comes back from the dead. Not literally. The guy was held in a prison camp for the past two years and he's not AT ALL displeased to find Gabby occupying his house and bed. In fact, he likes it quite a bit.

Byric is a little bit of a mess when he first stumbles across Gabby (he just planned and executed a daring escape from a prison, after all), but his arrival coincides with the start of the rainy season. So he and Gabby have a month to hole up and figure things out. Honestly, it doesn't take him more than one encounter for him to know she's the one for him.

BUT...there are complications. Namely, he didn't actually bind himself to Gabby (the reason she's pretending to be his widow makes sense in the context of things, but what she did was still technically illegal) and Byric's cousin is sniffing around and won't take kindly to Gabby suddenly being off the market.

Let's just say there's a little going on under the surface and Byric's sudden reappearance mucks things up a bit. Not that it stops the big guy from wooing his lady and getting ready to reenter society.

A little danger, a lot of rain, a household of folks happy to see Byric again, a lady who's found her place, and a male who's more than thrilled to be home again. *thumbs up*
