My bruised heart doesn’t stand a chance against this charmer!

I hate my greedy stepfather and his multi-million dollar company, but I’m so close to being out from under his thumb. All I have to do is visit this tiny town no-one’s heard of and sign over a piece of property to one of his cronies, and I’ll finally get access to my inheritance. But when I arrive in Eastshore Isle, I realize it’s not going to be that easy.

Because this place might be small, but it’s also warm, friendly, and totally desperate to keep me from selling the historic district to that developer. So desperate, in fact, that they’ve assigned an escort to schmooze me: A tall, charming, and utterly gorgeous orc, who just happens to be the internet celebrity I’ve been crushing on for a year.

Thebes doesn’t realize that I don’t need champagne, fine dining, and fast cars to sway my resolve; all it takes is his love. But when my stepfather figures out what’s going on in Eastshore Isle, I’m never going to get my independence, am I?

This feel-good, low-angst, high-heat cozy romance features the following tropes: Fated Mates, Cinderella, instalove, lots of naughty bits and of course, plenty of humor.

Veronika Kane

Veronika Kane is the monster-loving alter-ego of USA Today Bestselling Author Caroline Lee. One of Caroline's favorite genres to read is SciFi Romance, which led her to monster romance. When she discovered it was possible to set big, buff, delicious monsters in contemporary cozy small towns, she was sold. And that's how she ended up with a new pen name and a new series.

Welcome to the town of Eastshore Isle, the only beach town on the east coast experiencing negative population growth. You know who's going to help save the town? That's right; super-sexy, laugh-out-loud orcs.

Just like Caroline's HistRomComs, except greener.

Orcs Unbound

In a world where the veil between realms has thinned, Orcs Unbound opens the door to a raw and unexpected kind of magic—one where alien landscapes collide with deeply human emotions. This cross-realm fantasy romance series quietly carves its own path, stepping away from well-worn tropes to explore the lives of characters often pushed to the sidelines: battle-worn orcs and women who've weathered more than just time.

Set against the vast and dangerous backdrop of Mirock—a world brimming with brutal beauty, ancient magic, and steel machines that soar—the stories in Orcs Unbound focus on connection born not of convenience, but of necessity. When humans like Hannah, burdened by mortality and regret, are flung through mysterious stone portals, they're forced to navigate not just the foreign terrain of another planet but the uncharted territory of trust, attraction, and hope.

Rather than rushing through battles and politics, this series lingers in the quiet moments: the glint of a tusked smile, the ache of past losses, the tentative brush of fingers between species who’ve never been taught to love each other. These are stories of healing, of finding safety in unexpected arms, and of strength that doesn’t come from swords or spells—but from vulnerability.

For readers craving slow-burn romance, immersive world-building, and a fresh take on fantasy that blends sci-fi adventure with emotional resonance, Orcs Unbound offers a journey worth taking—one where every scar tells a story, and every story might just change your definition of home.
