Summary

Nora didn't plan on staying in Ashenvale. She definitely didn't plan on the orc across the street.

Kael is Engine 9's best search and rescue — enormous, quiet, and the kind of steady that makes a room feel different when he walks in. He's also her neighbor, which means she keeps running into him at inconvenient moments, and he keeps showing up when she needs someone without being asked.

She's not looking for this. He's not saying anything. But he notices everything, and she's starting to notice that.

When something threatens the life she's carefully not-building in Ashenvale, Kael doesn't ask permission to help. He just shows up.

He fell first. She just hasn't figured that out yet.

Claimed by the Orc Next Door is a sweet orc romance with a protective hero, a heroine learning to let someone in, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
