Orc in the Mountaina cozy, spicy, holiday rom-com novella

Every five years marks the Mating Celebrations, and they both want no part of it.

Running away from her latest heartbreak, Roxy feels called to the magical Orc territory of Hornsborough. In this charming town, she lets new ventures and hyper-fixations distract from all her insecurities. It works until her bakery owner Orc boss proposes she become his mate.

More than uninterested in that prospect, she breaks out her hiking/camping gear. After all, what better way to flee from your problems than physically?

Halfway up Mount Star Singer, she runs into a bit of a bird problem. A prehistoric bird problem. Sustaining an injury during a particularly nasty storm, a big, muscular Orc snatching her soaked, shivering body is the last thing she expects. Initially refusing his assistance, she's shocked to find he won't take no for an answer after he whisks her away to his mountain cave.

She doesn't know what to do with this gruff Orc who's irritated by her presence one minute, then tending to her wound the next. She's thrown even more off kilter when feelings arose in her soul, and she begins acting a little strangely. The point of this trip was to run away from Orc attentions, and now she's...going feral for one?

You're going to have the best time with this fun, cute, cozy, spicy winter holiday rom-com novella! Get ready to fall in love with Roxy and Ruhk.
