Ash

They call me the Ironborn’s cutthroat strategist for a reason.

I survived the camps, mastered human law, and built a shield around my brothers in a world that sees orcs as expendable. I don’t lead with fists—I win with leverage.

I didn’t plan for Nova Reyes.

Sharp-eyed. Relentless. Human. She sees more than she should—and doesn’t back down.

When her corruption case crashes into club business, battle lines blur. And when she risks everything to protect the innocent, I’m left with one impossible choice: break my oath… or lose the woman who sees the monster and still reaches for the man beneath.

Nova

I came to Shadow Ridge to bring down corruption, not fall for the Ironborn’s Vice President.

Ash Thornshade is brutal with his brain, dangerous with his silence, and carries justice like a weapon.

He’s the last man I should trust—especially when my only shot at putting my sister’s killer behind bars comes with a deal that could destroy everything.

Now I’m gambling my badge, my name, and the only man who’s ever made me feel seen.

This gritty, high-heat orc MC romance features a scarred VP with a possessive need, and a determined sheriff who won’t be owned, enemies to lovers, sharp banter, emotional depth, and a hard-won HEA.
