The Human Who Knew Better
(2026)(The fifth book in the Ashenvale Chronicles series)
A Story by Sera Vane
Cal watched four of his crew fall in love and thought he understood something they didn't.He was wrong.
Wren came to Ashenvale for a job — a pre-promotion audit on Engine 9's captain, thorough and unimpeachable, in and out. She didn't plan on the firehouse feeling like somewhere she wanted to understand. She didn't plan on Cal.
Cal is Engine 9's union steward, twenty years on the job, surgical with words and careful with everything else. He's the man who sees clearly for everyone around him and has made sure, efficiently and without drama, that it never happened to him.
Then Wren sits down across from him with a legal pad and a question he doesn't have a clean answer to, and his system stops working the way it used to.
He knew better. He watched four good men get leveled by this and thought he'd learned something from it.
He hadn't learned anything.
The Human Who Knew Better is a sweet orc romance — with a human hero who ran out of excuses, a heroine building a life on her own terms, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
