Orc Mechanic’s Touch: Silent Fixer Repairs Broken Stranger Through Care, Heat, Devotion

Mara keeps one eye on the rearview mirror as she speeds toward the mountains. She's running from a man who won't let her go. Then her engine sputters and dies right in front of the Ironjaw Riders' garage. Rain taps against the cracked windshield while she waits for help. She's stuck in a town full of exiled orcs who guard the edges of a breaking world.

Thorne is the mechanic who finds her. He's massive, green-skinned, and doesn't say much. He just gets to work. He leaves warm meals on the counter without a word. He drapes a heavy wool blanket over her shoulders when the mountain air turns cold. As he fixes her car, his steady presence starts to change things. Mara is used to looking for an exit. Now, she finds herself watching his large, capable hands instead.

But her safety is a thin veil. Her ex is still out there, and he's getting closer every day. The reality rifts around the town are pulsing with a restless energy. When the shadows finally find her, Mara has to make a choice. She can start the car and disappear again. Or she can stay with the grumpy orc who refuses to let her go. Thorne has already decided she won't be alone.

His protection is quiet and absolute. He's a man who fixes things, and he isn't about to let her break. Mara has spent her life learning how to leave. Now, she has to learn how to stand her ground.

Can a woman who always runs find a reason to finally stay?

***

In a world where reality fractures and monsters ride the fault lines, one orc will meet the woman who changes everything.

A century ago, a near impact from a rogue meteor warped Earth’s orbit and fractured reality into unstable overlap zones. In a hidden mountain town built over one of those fault lines, the Orc Rift Riders, a biker club of exiled orcs, ride the seams to keep the world from tearing open.

They were made for a heavier world. Stronger. Harsher. Unforgiving.

Here, they do not belong.

But when each orc claims a human woman who refuses to break under his weight, everything changes. Loyalty turns possessive. Protection turns primal. The most dangerous creatures in this fractured world begin to discover something they were never meant to have.

A reason to stay.
