Description
Grace Anderson has her own house, a steady job at the local bank, and a quiet ache for family. She also has a fascination with Alden Overlook—the hulking, green-skinned Orc next door who shovels her walk, never buttons his flannel, and avoids people like it’s a sport. When she shows up with a plate of cookies and an open heart, she expects awkward small talk. Instead, she gets a flash of tusks, a rescued puppy, and a warning: wild Orcs claim brides in the dark of winter.
What follows is a slow, stubborn dance between fear and desire. Grace stands up for Alden in public. Alden feeds her stew and then pushes her away for her own good. He clears her car at dawn, lurks at lunch to make sure she’s safe, and tells her to wait until spring. But it’s Valentine’s Day, and Grace is done waiting. She brings cookies, consent, and a promise: she wants all of him, all year long.
This is a warm, steamy, monster romance about choosing each other, making a home, and raising the kind of chaos only love can handle—twin sons, nosy neighbors, and a dog named Pepper included.
