The Professor Orc’s Secret by Eden Valentine

Tropes: Age gap, single dad, widower hero, slow burn compressed, opposites attract, curvy heroine, touch her and die, found family, MC romance

Ellie Frost spends her days shelving books and her nights reading the kind of romances her ex-husband mocked her for loving. At thirty-eight, she’s made peace with quiet. With cardigans. With being the kind of woman men overlook.

Then Colt Rivers walks into her library.
Former professor. Club Secretary of the Feral Sons MC. Six-foot-five, silver at his temples, reading glasses perched on a face that’s seen too much. He’s been a single dad since his wife died eight years ago, and he hasn’t looked twice at another woman since. Until he watches the soft-spoken librarian stand between his twelve-year-old daughter and a pack of bullies — and realises there’s fire under those vintage dresses.

She’s seven years younger. Seven years softer. Seven years too good for a man with his scars.
He should leave her alone. He can’t.

Tender, emotional age gap romance with a silver fox orc single dad and the curvy librarian who becomes the family he thought he’d buried. Slow burn with a scorching payoff, found family feels, and a little girl who needs a mother. Guaranteed HEA.
