Her orc bodyguard is determined to keep her close!

Holdar doesn't do commitment. Even his latest security job as bodyguard to a pretty, spoiled – and annoyingly adorable – heiress won't last, which is just as well. The sooner he gets away from her innocent smiles and tempting curves the better.

Trish is desperate to escape her father's gilded cage, even though her latest bodyguard is the biggest, most intimidating – and most enticing – male she's ever met. Then her disastrous attempt at freedom leads her straight into his massive orc arms.

Holdar failed one person in his care, and he's not about to do it again. He's determined to keep Trish safe, even if it means returning to Fairhaven Falls and facing the past he wants to forget.

A tiny southern town and the smallest cabin she's ever seen? A grumpy orc who insists on putting her to work – when he's not kissing the heck out of her? Trish should be miserable. Instead, she's never been happier.

But can their relationship be more than temporary? And is she willing to take a chance on an orc who's afraid to commit?
