Monster-Romance
She's all tinsel and tight deadlines. He's tusks, tradition, and absolutely not part of her plan.
Burnt-out event planner Clara Matthews is determined to pull off Seattle's biggest charity Christmas gala-even if it means working with a venue owner who growls more than he talks. Enter Gorvak Stonehide: a gruff orc businessman trying to prove his clan belongs in human society, not just in legends and bad headlines.
They clash instantly.
He thinks she's uptight.
She thinks he's infuriating.
Neither of them expected the mistletoe.
Or the feelings.
Or the kiss.
As snow falls and chaos mounts, their working relationship turns into something much deeper-and far more complicated. Blending traditions is hard. Falling in love with someone from a different world? Even harder.
But this Christmas, hearts will be carved, lines will be crossed, and one unlikely couple might just find home in each other.
