Fresh-Brewed Fate

Henker was supposed to live out his retirement in peace—quiet, alone, and far from the brutal clan life he left behind. The last thing the gruff, battle-worn orc expected was to find himself pulled toward a small café in the middle of Thyra, a village built where the realms meet.

Essa only ever wanted two things: to find out what happened to her father after he vanished trying to reach the human realm, and to open a café of her own. Magic never came to her like it did her mother, but baking? Brewing? Creating a warm space for others? That’s her kind of magic.

Then Henker walks into her life and something in both of them shifts. The pull is undeniable, impossible to ignore… and completely unheard of. Orcs and humans don’t bond. Not like this. Not without consequences.

When a retired orc executioner and a human baker discover they're fated mates, their bond could either heal the fractured realms or burn them down again.

🔥🔥 A warm, slow-burning romance where comfort meets fate. 🔥🔥
