The Devoted Orc

When love is an adventure worth breaking things for... Grimgar Ironheart has never met a problem he couldn't solve with his sword, until he walks into Sophia's library and accidentally destroys half the poetry section. The brilliant librarian should probably ban him for life, but there's something irresistible about an eight-foot orc warrior who apologizes by hand-copying damaged manuscripts and brings flowers with the dirt still attached. Sophia Brightwell's quiet life gets turned upside down when Millbrook's most enthusiastic romantic disaster sets his sights on winning her heart. Between midnight serenades that wake the entire village, bee-infested bouquets, and challenges to single combat over casual conversation, dating Grimgar is never boring. But beneath all the chaos, she discovers a gentle giant whose devotion runs deeper than any fairy tale. He's determined to prove he's worthy of someone extraordinary. She's learning that sometimes the best adventures come with a little property damage. Together, they'll discover that true love isn't about avoiding disasters-it's about finding someone worth facing them with. A delightfully chaotic romance featuring:An enthusiastic orc hero who fights with his heart, not just his fists A brilliant heroine who loves books almost as much as she loves beautiful disasters Family bonding that involves ceremonial ale and questionable spelling Cultural exchanges that may require insurance policies Guaranteed happily ever after (furniture damage not guaranteed) Perfect for readers who love their romance with extra heart, humor, and the occasional hole punched through a wall in excitement.
