Orc The HallsA Snowed-In Christmas Romance
Some Christmas gifts come wrapped in muscle, tusks, and possessive growls.
Megan
My plan to cover next semester’s vet school tuition—holiday pet-sitting at my late grandma’s snowy mountain sanctuary—is going down in flames. The exotic animals are staging a revolt, a blizzard’s closing in, and failure means losing everything.
Then he shows up.
Ryder Stone: six-foot-eight of green-skinned, musclebound orc firefighter with a voice that could melt snow and hands that promise ruin. He’s calm with the animals, gentle with me—and when he calls me sunshine, my icy walls start to melt. But I’ve been left behind too many times to believe in happy endings.
Ryder
I came here to do a quick pet-care favor. What I found? A fierce, brilliant woman holding her world together with grit and hope. Megan thinks I’ll walk away like everyone else. But this orc? I’m not going anywhere.
I’ll earn her trust. Melt her defenses. And prove that I love hard, protect harder, and know exactly how to heat up a snowbound cabin.
Escape into a snowed-in mountain romance where Christmas miracles come with claiming marks, possessive growls, and the kind of dominant orc who brings the fire.
Scorching scenes guaranteed, along with your new green-skinned book boyfriend.
For readers 18+ who love their holidays hot, their heroes huge, and their monster romances equal parts heart and heat.
Alana Khan
Alana Khan writes where the heart meets the stars, blending raw human emotion with the thrill of otherworldly adventure. A USA Today bestselling author, she has built a devoted following across the worlds of sci-fi and monster romance, crafting stories that are as emotionally charged as they are unapologetically steamy.
Before she began creating alien warriors, battle-scarred heroes, and fierce heroines fighting for love among the stars, Khan worked as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. That background threads through every page she writes. Her characters, whether human, hybrid, or something far stranger, are never simple archetypes. They are survivors. They carry wounds, face inner darkness, and heal through connection. It is this emotional depth that gives her romantic universes a pulse that feels utterly real, even when set light years away.
OrcFire
In the scorching heart of the Mojave Desert, where fences divide humanity from the “Others,” the flames don’t just burn, they bind. The OrcFire series by Alana Khan and Aria Vale reimagines monster romance with the grit of firefighters, the ache of forbidden love, and the spark of redemption in a world that’s forgotten its mercy.
OrcFire consists of nine books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Reviews and Comments
I really enjoyed this holiday story about Ryder & Laney. This was a fun and festive story with some deeper emotions as well that are balanced out with humour and sweet moments. I also loved all the different animals and how they interacted with Ryder & Laney. I look forward to reading more from this author.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
