Penelope never planned to fall for her boss—especially when he’s a towering, green-skinned orc with zero bedside manner. But scrubbing floors for Dristan’s empire is her only shot at saving her family’s home, and she’s got no time for fantasy… even the growly kind with tusks and devastating biceps.
Dristan built his empire with brute strength and zero distractions. But when Penelope shows up, all fire and vulnerability, his instincts roar to claim her as his fated mate. There’s just one problem—he has no clue how to flirt, let alone woo a human woman.
When danger strikes, Dristan’s protective side kicks into overdrive. But can a monster truly win the heart of his damsel? Or will Penelope escape with her life—and leave love behind?
