Tusk First, Ask Later
(2026)(The third book in the Creature Rescue League series)
A novel by Ava Ross
One struggling food truck owner. One orc whose grin hides his wounded heart.
Anika: My family thinks my food truck is a phase. I’m determined to prove them wrong. Renting a spot outside the Creature Rescue League seems like the perfect fresh start—until a seven-foot green orc welcomes me with a carefully memorized speech, builds me a perfectly level parking pad before I sign the lease, and starts tipping with twenty-dollar bills folded into tiny origami monsters.
Drogar is thoughtful. Gentle. And very handy. He looks at me like I’m already home. But behind his grin is a sadness I don't know how to reach.
Drogar: I know Anika is my mate the moment she climbs out of her bright orange van. Humans, however, have rules. ‘I built you a better life’ is apparently not proper courtship.
Then a flashy competitor offers Anika a prime location, guaranteed customers, and the success she's always wanted.
To win her heart, I’ll have to prove that the best foundations aren't poured in concrete. Sometimes they're built one careful question, one impossible kiss, and one stubborn orc at a time.
Tusk First, Ask Later is Book 3 in the Creature Rescue League Series. Expect a cozy Earth-based world, slow-burn spice, quirky side characters and whimsical orc kingdom creatures, a swoony orc hero, size difference, only-one-cottage, small town romance, and a HEA.
