The Grumpy Orc Butcher Shop

A PR expert gets hired to rehabilitate the image of a reformed bad boy orc...who also happens to be her one-night stand, in this steamy new monster romance. Joanna is the woman everyone in Honeybrook turns to whether they need a brand overhaul or just a bit of image massaging. But living in a small town means everyone knows each other’s business, and she refuses to date a local after her last relationship backfired. When a gorgeous, dangerous-looking orc shows up, offering a night of fun with no strings attached? Joanna is game. Except…turns out Kogan’s not just passing through, and he needs Joanna’s help getting his business off the ground as rumors of his checkered past keeps the townsfolk steering clear of his new butcher shop. Failure is not an option, and Joanna is determined to get Honeybrook through his doors. Founder’s Day Parade? Her surly client is entering the float competition. Friday lunch specials? A must. Helping her through the heat she was supposedly too human to get? Well, Joanna didn’t plan on that, but Kogan is happy to assist. The more her grumpy orc opens up, the more Joanna’s sure Kogan belongs in Honeybrook—and the more she questions her resolutions to never date a local again.
