They call him The Keeper, so why isn’t my mysterious new captor more interested in keeping me? My father always told me I was too impetuous, but when I see a chance to escape my horrible life—being forced to work on my back for the tavern-keeper who owns my brother’s debt—I take it. And some valuables on the way out. Is it any wonder I’m chased into the snowstorm…and right into the single arm of a seven-foot-tall, wounded and grumpy recluse? The Keeper might be terrifying, but he saves my hotheaded arse from certain death, then takes me back to his cozy little cottage. I can tell he wants naught to do with me, but the fierce blizzard means he’s stuck with me…and a single bed. Determined to be useful, I’m hopeful I can wear him down. After all, I have plenty of experience with males and their pleasure. But when I learn what it is I’ve actually stolen, I become determined to set things right. Will he help me, or has he had enough of my chatter? get ready for a spicy romantasy with a reluctant hero who just wants to be left alone and a sassy knows-what-she-likes heroine not at all disappointed to be snowed in with a hot kilted orc!

A midwife should have some understanding of pleasure, aye? And I know just the male to teach me… I came through the stones to the orc’s world to help with my sister’s birth. So many human women have Mated with orc males, and I’ve long grown accustomed to the way their brutish features hide honorable and caring hearts. But there’s one male, the acting chief of our cozy little village, who drives me absolutely mad. Vartok is charming and flirtatious with everyone else…but with me, he’s demanding, rude, and teasing. So why does my body respond so fiercely to his nearness? When my sister jokes yet again about the pleasure found between a male and female—pleasure I have never experienced—I have one too many ales and decide to do something about it. After all, Vartok is known far and wide as the most experienced at pleasure. Why should he not be the one to teach me about such things? But I don’t expect the bargain he makes…a bargain I cannot object to, when I learn exactly what it will mean for me! another spicy romantasy featuring an intimacy bargain between a hot kilted orc and his v-card-carrying human plaything…who have to learn to work together when everything goes wrong!
