If you’re a human woman, you have a special name for the world I live in. Hell. The only way to survive on the once lush Earth is to side with the brutes who once came to kill us. But what happens when the orc who is my mission becomes my partner? When he’s the one I’ll fall in love with. That I’ll want to hold me. Care for me. And protect me on this blasted, ruined, planet? It'll mean leaving behind everything I've known. It'll mean entering a whole new world that I would have never expected. But that won’t matter. Because my orc and I will have a shield to protect us through everything, even the war. Our love. Author's Note: This is a full length monster romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers!
