The Passionate Orc

When art and heart collide, sparks fly—and so does the paint!

Nar Humperdink is everything you’d expect from a Red Blade Orc warrior: seven feet of pure muscle, battle-tested, and fierce. What you wouldn’t expect? He’s also a secret artist who sneaks away to galleries and paints landscapes that would make your heart weep.
Emryn Lister is a talented human artist struggling to make her mark in the competitive art world. The last thing she needs is a clumsy orc warrior literally crashing into her life, and her exhibition piece.
But when Nar’s attempt to fix his paint-flinging disaster leads to an unexpected artistic collaboration, these two opposites discover they’re perfect complements. She teaches him technique. He shows her passion. She brings delicate beauty. He brings bold strokes and unshakeable devotion.

There’s just one problem: Nar’s clan thinks art is for weaklings, and Emryn’s facing the loss of her studio. Between sabotage attempts, leaky wedding tents, and enough romantic mishaps to fill a comedy show, can a warrior who paints in secret and an artist who sees his true heart create their own masterpiece?
