The Orc’s Touch

Cursed and hunted by her own kind, Kiora Dusk was once a revered healer—until her magic twisted into something dangerous. Now every spell burns, every touch threatens destruction, and the coven that raised her wants her silenced. Fleeing into the wilds should have meant death. Instead, it delivers her into the hands of two orc brothers. Durok is scarred, silent, and forged by violence. He trusts nothing human and sees Kiora as a threat that could doom his people. Kaelen is bold, mocking, and dangerously charming—intrigued by her power, her defiance, and the way she burns when she tries not to. They should kill her. They should turn her away. Instead, ancient magic binds them together in a fragile truce—one charged with heat, tension, and a hunger none of them are prepared to face. As hunters close in and Kiora's unstable magic threatens to spiral out of control, desire ignites between enemy lines. What begins as protection turns possessive. What begins as temptation turns sacred. And when touch becomes both salvation and ruin, Kiora must decide: Remain a curse… Or claim the monsters who would burn the world to keep her.
