a human woman and an orc, Open Door, Explicit, in a settled · Marrowvale
The Orc's Wedding Cook
She was hired to cook the wedding that ends a two-hundred-year feud. Nobody told her that among orcs every dish is a sentence — and she has just served an accusation.
Tamsin Prewe is the only cook in the Marrowvale neither steading can accuse of taking sides, which is why she is feeding three days of orcish wedding rites from a borrowed kitchen — with a warden from the groom's side. Ordrukk Kadrun is enormous, unhurried, and holding himself very still, because orcs cannot dissemble and he wants her from the first hour.
One dish of pickled roots later a carving knife comes out, Ordrukk puts a man on the flagstones with one hand, and the marriage agreement begins coming apart. Then somebody salts her larder on purpose, and by morning both houses know where she spent the night.
He offers her courtship in front of the whole hall. She says not yet, in public, because she will not be married into a feud to settle it.
Curvy heroine, size difference, fated mates, and a dangerous male who is gentle with exactly one person. Explicit, open door, standalone with a happy ending. Perfect for fans of Finley Fenn and Ruby Dixon.
