Tropes: Grumpy/sunshine, Forbidden (prospect can't have distractions), He falls first, Opposites attract, Size difference, MC romance
Poppy Harris is a large animal vet who circuits the ranches around Silver Hollow. She's sunshine and steady hands — elbow-deep in a cow at four in the morning during a difficult calving, calm and competent and gentle with everything that could crush her.
Eric "Axe" Barker is none of those things. He's a Bloodstone orc — clan royalty, hard edges, all pride and no patience. He arrived in Silver Hollow carrying the weight of a name that means everything in orc politics and nothing in Idaho. At Ironhorse, nobody cares about his bloodline. For the first time in his life, he's judged on what he does instead of whose blood he carries.
The problem is what he does right now is prospect. Grunt work. Outside the door during church while a twenty-one-year-old orc VP votes on his future. And his prospect assignment is Carl Loomis's ranch — the property of the man who most vocally opposes the monster MC.
Poppy keeps showing up to his worksite with a warm smile and a bag full of needles. She handles dangerous animals and dangerous orcs with the same quiet authority. She's everything soft that Axe has spent his life pretending he doesn't need.
He can't afford the distraction. She's nothing but.
When a rival MC rolls through Silver Hollow and Axe puts himself between a Yellowstone orc and Carl Loomis — the man who hates monsters — to protect him, Poppy sees the man beneath the Bloodstone pride. And Axe earns something no bloodline could ever give him.
Grumpy orc meets sunshine vet in a forbidden prospect romance. Tusks, scenting, a claiming bite, and a patch-in ceremony that will wreck you. Standalone HEA.
Ironhorse MC: Forged, Not Born.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
