Vacation with the Orc

I didn’t expect Havenlore to feel like a place I’d want to stay.

What begins as a simple trip beyond the village turns into something softer—and far more dangerous to my heart—when Guruk offers to show me one of the realm’s hidden wonders: a secluded waterfall tucked deep within the forest… and rumors of a nearby portal that might lead me back to the friends I lost.

It should be an easy quest. A quick journey. A way home.

Instead, it becomes something else entirely.

Between quiet trails, shared meals, and laughter that comes too easily, the world slows down. The search for the portal lingers in the background as we steal moments beneath cascading water and starlit skies. And somewhere along the way, Guruk stops feeling like my protector… and starts feeling like something far more permanent.

But Havenlore was never meant to be mine.

If the portal is real, it could return me to the life I left behind—the one that still waits for me. The one I should choose.

So why does the thought of leaving him feel like losing everything?

Return to Havenlore in this cozy, steamy romance, where gentle adventures, quiet magic, and a growing love prove that sometimes the hardest choice isn’t surviving the journey… it’s deciding where you truly belong.
