„I want you so much it hurts,“ he said. „Every day. Every night. I think of nothing else.“ „But...“ Hannah shook her head. „Why did you then...“ „Because I kept something from you. Something important. And I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me anymore if you found out.“ Hannah's sister is sick. Only a rare medicinal plant from the sacred grove can save her, but the grove is dying. A mine is poisoning the water. The plants are dying. And Thrakk, the orc shaman who watches over the grove, cannot stop the decay. Hannah is a healer, not a hero. But she needs the rare plants of the grove. So she searches for a solution with Thrakk. What she doesn't expect: that she would grow closer to Thrakk. That his touch would feel like coming home. That he would look at her as if he had been waiting for her. The closer they become, the heavier his secret weighs. Each volume in this series of hot monster romance stories can be read as a standalone and has a happy ending.
