My Orc Contract Husband

The contract said temporary. My heart missed that memo. No one escapes a hostile takeover quite like this!

Six years ago, in an effort to avoid an arranged marriage, I walked away from my ruthless father’s business empire and built a new life as Eastshore Isle’s top realtor. I thought I’d finally left the corporate world—and its power plays—behind. But when his business partner tracks me down, marriage is suddenly back on the table… and I’m the prize.

To dodge a legally binding nightmare, I turn to the kindest, most talented, most unfairly gorgeous orc I know. Tarkhan needs a mortgage to start his woodworking business. I need a husband on paper. The solution is simple: A contract marriage. One year and a day. No strings, no feelings, no problem.

Except Tarkhan isn’t just easy to live with—he’s impossible not to fall for.

And when my father’s partner shows up to stake his claim, I realize I don’t want a loophole marriage anymore. I want Tarkhan. No contracts, no expiration date—just forever.

This feel-good, low-angst, high-heat cozy romcom features the following tropes: marriage of convenience, class difference, forced proximity, adorable small-town (of course), lots of humor, lots of heat!
