Orc's Savage Heart
His kind was meant to stay locked in legend. Now he's locked onto me.
Tharok is massive, battle-worn, and entirely too possessive for a creature who just woke up after a few centuries of magical slumber.
He’s a warrior. A protector. A walking, growling reminder that I should really stop touching things in ancient ruins.
He doesn’t understand the modern world, but he understands me in a way no one else ever has. He sees my mind, my strength, my relentless curiosity—and instead of dismissing it, he reveres it.
My scholarly mind says run. My body says stay, especially when his monstrous form cages me with surprising tenderness.
But I’m not the kind of woman who lets destiny make my choices. I built my career on evidence, not emotions, and falling for an orc warlord was never in my five-year plan.
And the more we uncover about his past, the clearer it becomes: Tharok’s fate was never meant to end in that tomb.

Alexa Ashe
I've always been fascinated by the magical worlds that exist only in the imagination. In fact, I once tried to cast a spell on my math teacher to make him forget about homework - it didn't work, but it did inspire me to start writing my own stories.
When I'm not busy creating new characters and stories, I'm usually snuggled up with a good book and a hot cup of tea (or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day). Just don't disturb me while I'm in the middle of a particularly juicy chapter - I probably won't even hear you anyway.
