Brok can train almost anyone. The Easter Bunny may be the exception. As an orc personal trainer with a reputation built on discipline, impossible workouts, and clients who do not quit, Brok expects the Herald of Spring to be another professional challenge. Then Barnaby arrives soft, anxious, catastrophically unprepared, and one bad hill away from ruining Brok's perfect record. The situation gets even more complicated when Hazel enters the training plan. She is a human chocolatier whose creations can make protein taste like joy, whose smile wrecks Brok's concentration, and whose presence gives him a reason to look forward to something other than the next set. Brok knows better than to mix work with feelings, especially with Easter approaching and a rival determined to turn Barnaby's failure into a public spectacle. Hazel has her own reasons to be cautious about the supernatural world, and Brok's carefully controlled life leaves little room for vulnerability. But between enchanted sweets, magical competition, family interference, and a bunny who desperately needs to survive delivery night, attraction refuses to stay on the sidelines. When the seasonal rivalry stops being funny and Hazel is pulled into the danger, Brok has to decide what matters more: protecting the career he built or the woman who made him want a life beyond it. Easter is coming, Barnaby is still terrified of hills, and Brok's toughest training challenge may be admitting exactly what he is willing to fight for.
