The Orcs of Marrowvale
Three new orc romances, available only in this collection. Three human women, and the three most dangerous men in the valley, each gentle with exactly one of them.
In the Marrowvale, humans and orcs share the roads, the markets and the fairs, and the old courtship rites still mean exactly what they say. Every orc has a trade and a household. Every one of these orcs has a temper the valley steps off the road for. And when the bond wakes, he cannot hide how much he wants her.
The Orc's Schoolmistress: Every room in the village was spoken for, so the new schoolmistress is boarded above the joinery of the orc the whole valley fears, a widowed father who cannot plait his little daughter's hair for fear of pulling. She answers a courtship without knowing it. By market day the aunts are counting the rites.
The Orc's Innkeeper: On the first night of the fair, Heledd gives the last bed in Pentre Cadd to the orc who broke a man's arm on the fair road that afternoon. The wardens put her licence under notice, and the only witness who can clear him is Heledd herself.
The Orc's Heather Honey: Tegwen rents the worst-tempered orc's hillside for three weeks of heather bloom, and keeps smiling as she always has. He is the first person ever to tell her what those smiles cost. Then the man who holds her mother's debt offers to clear it, if she will lie about her orc.
Three complete standalone novellas, over 150,000 words in all, each with a curvy heroine, a size difference, fated mates and a guaranteed happy ending. Explicit and open door. Perfect for fans of Finley Fenn and Ruby Dixon.
