Hello !

As it says in the subject: one grumpy orc romance coming up! Wed to the Orc has just gone live today and is available to read in Kindle Unlimited. If you want a fluffy, swoony, spicy short romance to sweep you away from reality for a few blissful hours, look no further! Lundark and Ina will fill your time with funny banter, steamy moments, and a delicious back-and-forth, will-they-won't-they dynamic.

Plus, of course, there is orc 🥒 *cucumber emoji* with "ridges, crudely called knobs", in Lundark's words.

I can't wait to see what you think about this book! Consider leaving me a review on Amazon or Goodreads if you can spare a few minutes, and if you like the book, I'd be ecstatic if you recommended it to your friends (online or offline, if you're so lucky as to have real life romance reading friends! I don't. Yes, pity me, please.)

More Arranged Monster Mates

This book belongs to a three-author series called Arranged Monster Mates, where all books follow the same trope: a virgin human heroine is forced to seek an arranged match with a monster through the Temple.

Each author in this series put their own spin on the trope, so every book has something new to discover! There are interesting varieties of monsters, aliens, and shifters to explore, so definitely check them out. The preorders for the third round of novellas are up, and the books will go live in September.

(And mine is called Wed to the Lich and has the cutest cover!)

In other news...

The paperbacks for Falling for Mr. Hyde are available on Amazon! So if you want this magical, spicy, MFM book on your shelf, now is the moment to grab it. I'm waiting for my author's copies to arrive - impatiently, because I can't wait to put Mr. Hyde's gorgeous face in a place of honor in my bookcase!

As for my current WIP, I'm officially ✨on a break✨, which means I'm writing a free novella for my lovely subscribers (that's you, hon!). It's a djinn romance, and well, writing is not the right word - it's a book I once published under another pen name, now inactive, and then took it down. I'm editing it to match my current writing sensibilities (which includes purging the words "folds", "nub", and "manhood" from the book - yes, I know. Sexy anatomy vocabulary is a minefield, and I'm doing my best to stick to words with the lowest ick-factor).

Anyway, the book is called The Third Wish, and here is a little teaser!

“No one has ever made such a wish,” he said finally.

Amy flinched at the chilling tone of his voice.

“I find that all my previous masters, stupid and weak as they were, must have possessed some innate wisdom or a healthy survival instinct because no one, not one of them, has ever made such a wish.”

As he spoke, he slowly pulled off two rings adorning his fingers and let them fall soundlessly in the sand. He turned his head left and right, loosening his neck muscles. Amy sat in the pool, paralyzed, like a deer caught in headlights.

I'll send you a download link once the book is ready, and for now, that is all from me! Stay safe and horny, my friend!
