The Governess and the Orc by Finley Fenn — book slip

In a realm of orcs and powerful men, Geva Okoro is a proud, impoverished governess trapped in a dead-end post until an orc breaks in. This huge, arrogant brute only wants one thing from Geva: her employers' gold. With no escape, Geva is forced to raid her employers' house with him, compromising her career and dreams. But the orc proposes another shocking scheme: he'll split the plunder if she pretends to be his mate for a month at Orc Mountain. Sharing his rooms and pretending to love him, Geva is offered more wealth than she ever dreamed of. But can she trust this treacherous thief, or will her play-acting start to feel real?
