Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

He needs a girlfriend to save his career. She needs the plan to stay fake. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when pretending starts to feel real.Stonebridge Forge communications director Elena "Lena" Ward knows how to manage a crisis. Then the team's intimidating new orc coach, Korran Daal, breaks a microphone during a press conference-and hands an already nervous sponsor exactly the scandal it feared.Korran is brilliant behind the bench, fiercely protective of his players, and absolutely terrible at being the harmless, approachable public figure everyone wants him to become. With his job and a major sponsorship suddenly at risk, Lena needs a solution fast.Her answer?Give the grumpy orc coach a girlfriend.A fake one.Unfortunately, the most believable candidate is Lena herself.They make rules. Public appearances only. Clear boundaries. No surprise touching. No jealousy games. And either of them can end the arrangement whenever they want.It should be simple.Except Korran is far more thoughtful beneath the intimidating exterior than Lena expected. He notices everything. He protects without asking for praise. And every carefully staged moment between them makes it harder to remember which parts are supposed to be pretend.Meanwhile, Lena's longtime friend-and longtime secret crush-Miles may finally be ready to admit that his feelings for her have never been entirely friendly.With cameras watching, sponsors applying pressure, the Forge fighting for their season, and the line between performance and reality disappearing, Lena has to decide what she actually wants when there is no communications strategy left to hide behind.Because fake dating was supposed to fix Korran's reputation.

Falling for him was never part of the plan.My Orc Coach Needs a Girlfriend is a grumpy hockey fake-dating romance featuring an intimidating but protective orc coach, a competent communications heroine, workplace tension, a meaningful love triangle, slow-building chemistry, active consent and boundaries, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
