Orc Romance · Marrowvale
The Orc's Harvest
At Wednesday market the most feared orc on the lower road told the whole valley she would quit by noon. She told the same market she would last the harvest.
Her father's bad hip has kept him out of his barley for the first time in thirty years, so the household hires the Ilgrath gang. Olwen Morrish will not stand at the hedge and watch strangers reap Morrish ground. She takes a hook at the tail of the line. Yeskar Ilgrath leads it, and other gangs will not bid against him for a field.
She lasts noon, then the day, then the first week on raw hands and pride. On the sixth evening the bond wakes in him in front of his gang. Now the valley weighs every word he gives her down the rows: is he courting her, or trying to break her?
The weather turns with a third of the barley still standing. The help that would save it would cost her the word she gave.
A curvy, strong-armed heroine and a dangerous orc who is gentle with exactly one woman. Explicit, open door, standalone, happy ending. Perfect for fans of Finley Fenn and Ruby Dixon.
