Visiting my sister for the winter holidays should be a joyous time. But all the tinsel, gingerbread, and mistletoe gives me a headache. Sitting out the festivities of the town's Winter Solstice Festival leads me to take a cat nap in the truck.

Next thing I know, a growling orc--in a Santa hat!--is driving this truck through a blizzard!

Now we're trapped at his place. Which wouldn't be so bad, if only his gaze didn't make me melt like Frosty. Too bad there's only one bed, and the temperature keeps dropping.

Snowed In With the Orc is a short, fluffy, steamy novella that is part of the Monsters and Mistletoe shared author series. It features one grumpy orc and one grumpy, sassy woman, forced proximity, let's snuggle for warmth, a magical ornament, and a cozy small town (if she ever makes it back).

Jilli specializes in swoony small-town romance, where the settings are as cozy as they are picturesque, whether it’s a lobster shack on the coast of Maine or a family-run bakery in the heart of a close-knit town. Readers are drawn to her ability to create real connections between characters, exploring both the joy and the challenges of love—without ever losing sight of the humor and heart that make her stories truly shine.

Her debut novel, You've Got Love and Lobsters, released in 2023, quickly captivated fans with its heartfelt story of Layla Deeb, a woman determined to save her family’s struggling lobster shack, and Ben Carlisle, the corporate rival who just might steal her heart. This book, along with the rest of the Shipbuilt Shenanigans series, shows off her talent for crafting engaging, layered characters and blending humor with romance in a way that feels entirely fresh.

In addition to her swoony small-town romances, Jilli has also ventured into the realm of monster romance with her Toothsome Monster Romance series. Her latest release, One Night with Her Mountain Orc, brings together a stranded woman and a reformed orc in a heartwarming and steamy tale that has added a unique twist to her already diverse repertoire.

When she’s not writing, Jilli can be found plotting her next adventure, playing games with her family, or simply enjoying the beauty of the stars. Whether you’re a fan of small-town charm or just looking for a story that will make you believe in the power of love, Jilli Waters is an author whose books are sure to leave a lasting smile on your face.
