Orc Cop in Uniform

After sixteen years as a single mother, she is sure there is no room left for fun between a job, a mortgage, and a teenage son who has outgrown being her little buddy.

The boy who once felt like her closest friend now shows off a new mustache and fresher muscle, then sets her up with the most attractive cop in town.

Simbel is a big-city orc charmer in uniform who, for no reason she can name, seems to like an exhausted woman ready to give up on men.

He makes her laugh and somehow makes the days easier, which is a dangerous kind of fun for someone who has spent those same sixteen years protecting her heart and her son.

The last time she let herself enjoy a man, her whole life changed, and trusting Simbel now means risking both of them or staying safely, and lonely, where she is.
