Publisher's Synopsis
A spunky human innkeeper drowning in magical pests, a brooding orc brewmaster, and the fake engagement that could save them both. I've poured my heart and soul into reviving my aunt's inn after her passing, but a pixie dust mite infestation threatens to destroy everything. Their glittery trails of destruction have infiltrated the guest rooms, and the cost to eradicate them will leave me penniless. I'm desperate for a solution. Enter Thorak Ironfist, the orc who once tormented me in high school. Now a wealthy brewmaster, he's determined to expand his ale empire into the human realm. But prejudice stands in his way. When a potential investor mistakes him for the muscle instead of the brains, Thorak blurts out that his human "fiancée" handles the business side of things. Fate intervenes when I overhear his fib. I seize the opportunity and strike a deal: I'll play the part of his devoted human partner if he financially aids me in banishing the pests. What could possibly go wrong?
