When your life’s in shambles, maybe it’s time to steep yourself in temptation. My dreams of running a quaint tea shop just went up in steam—along with my savings. But when my gruff neighbor Dorvak offers to let me set up in his bakery, I can't resist one last chance to prove I'm not a failure. The hulking, spice-scented orc baker grunts more than he talks and keeps his spotless kitchen as locked down as his heart, but I’ve been secretly fascinated by him for ages. Is this my chance to find out if all that grumpiness hides a cinnamon-roll center I’d love to sink my teeth into? But proximity has a way of heating things up, and I discover that my reclusive neighbor isn’t just protective and caring; he’s got a filthy mouth and knows how to use it. When it turns out there’s something very specific he wants from me…let's just say I’m more than willing to let this deliciously surly orc take a bite out of me. This low-angst, high-heat, cozy small-town rom-com features the grumpiest/sunshine duo to team up, workplace shenanigans, and a hero who is not only ready to rise to the occasion, but has a thing for cream-filled treats… and she’s his favorite dessert! * * * * Though they once lived in secret, “monsters” have inhabited the earth as long as humans. As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the ability to remain hidden dwindled. Earth’s nonhuman creatures faced a allow themselves to be discovered, or step forward and introduce themselves.
