Synopsis (Goodreads):

Mate-bonding with a co-worker is against company policy... accidentally or not.

Janice knows better than anyone that entanglements with co-workers are risky business.

But when Janice accidentally breaks a co-workers nose, she finds herself unexpectedly mated to an orc, and under Monster Resources’ scrutiny.

Khent from the IT Department is quiet and nerdy, despite the tusks. His emails are overly wordy. He won’t stop apologizing even though she’s the one who broke his glasses.

Clearly, fate got this one wrong.

All Janice has to do is stay away from Khent until the bond dissipates. Easy enough, right? Except…
…Her company laptop chooses this week to need the orc from the IT Department, repeatedly.
…She accidentally clicks on orc porn at work and has to take remedial phishing training with Khent.
…Their bond will keep pulling them back together until it is completed.

Thoughts on The Orc from the Office: Janice, the beleaguered HR rep who attempted to guide Lily during her budding office romance, bumbles her way into an accidental mating with one ill-timed elbow and a whole lot of pent up...erm, need, I guess. Sure, the blood frenzy helps kick her lady-bits into overdrive whenever Khent is around, but it can't be all that. Right? I mean, the big guy is sweet, quiet, and realllllly muscle-y in all the right places.

Not that his muscles matter. But still. Muscles for days.

Speaking of which, while Khent certainly wasn't expecting to get elbowed in the face and end up mated, he doesn't entirely hate the idea. Especially with Janice. She might be human, but she's a dynamo and his likes her take-charge attitude. So much.

An accidental link-click that leads to a fair amount of embarrassment (and some education about orc-mating habits), more than one office encounter that leaves at least one of them satisfied, a fire drill, and a rescue that leads to some very sexy times. RAWR!
