OrcFire · #2
Embers Ignite
Bound by passion, shattered by deceit.
Marissa
The Others have been on Earth for 25 years, but I’d never met one until the huge orc Fire Chief landed in the ICU as my patient. He’s rude, snarly, and covered in tattoos. A girl would have to be out of her mind to want someone like him, right? I guess I’m out of my mind.
Actually, I’m obsessed.
It’s hard to see past his snarls to find the squishy guy he hides inside, but I do. One kiss leads to another, and before I know it, well, I discover he’s not snarly all the time.
Until he learns my secret. I never meant to hurt him, but now he won't have a thing to do with me.
Brokka
Being dragged through the Rift and spit out onto this planet with nothing more than the clothes on my back wasn’t the worst thing in my life. Losing everyone and everything I’d ever cared about was far more crushing.
Tender Marissa with her courage, caring, and delicious curves is the perfect reason for me to let go of my past. Until I discover our relationship is built on a lie. How can I love a woman I will never be able to trust?
Enjoy this age-gap, second-chance romance as Brokka and Marissa battle people in both their worlds, risking everything they hold dear to be together.
Written by USA TODAY Bestselling author Alana Khan.
No cheating or cliffhangers in this steamy, enemies to lovers romance. There’s phone s*x and much more for Marissa, who, it turns out, is a very good girl. Guaranteed love and happiness ever after.

The series
In the scorching heart of the Mojave Desert, where fences divide humanity from the “Others,” the flames don’t just burn, they bind. The OrcFire series by Alana Khan and Aria Vale reimagines monster romance with the grit of firefighters, the ache of forbidden love, and the spark of redemption in a world that’s forgotten its mercy.
Read full series description
Twenty-five years after orcs and other beings crash-landed on Earth, they’ve been exiled to a barren zone outside Los Angeles. Feared by humans, branded as monsters, they fight the only way they know how, by saving lives. Behind the sirens and smoke are stories of strength and longing: an orc who hides his scars beneath soot-blackened armor, a human woman whose courage burns hotter than any blaze, and a love that refuses to stay contained.
Each book follows a different pair caught between prejudice and passion, their connection forged in danger and tempered by loyalty. The orcs may be fierce, but what defines them isn’t their size or strength, it’s their humanity. The heroines who meet them don’t need saving; they bring their own fire, forcing both worlds to question who the real monsters are.
The world-building glows with cinematic detail: a desert turned refugee zone, a firehouse where brotherhood replaces bloodlines, a society that fears what it doesn’t understand. Themes of acceptance, sacrifice, and belonging run beneath the surface like underground heat. And though every story ends in hard-won love, the road there is littered with ash, courage, and the quiet triumph of hearts that refuse to cool.
For readers drawn to orc romance and paranormal love stories that blend raw emotion, social tension, and slow-burn heat, this series stands apart. It’s not just about monsters and humans, it’s about what’s left standing after the world burns and two souls choose to rebuild from the ashes together.
