Capturing the Orc's Heart

Dishonored and heartbroken, Lieutenant Agkar has just transferred to the inhospitable desert of the Hazrain-a neutral zone between human and trollkin-to work in the city guard. But he despises his new superior officer, Captain Zirelle Mastair, a human woman who gets to boss him around day in and day out. It's humiliating. The tough-as-nails Captain Mastair doesn't care much for her new orc lieutenant or his impertinent attitude, which gets in the way of her all-important work. Yet she senses a deep wound underneath his hard exterior that speaks to her own. While on a mission to track down a fugitive, the captain and the lieutenant are stranded in a cavern hideout. Will all of their pent-up frustration with one other finally burst? This is a standalone, steamy novella that incorporates characters from previous Trollkin Lovers stories.
