Orc-us Pocus

2023

An orc science teacher is determined to give me a lesson in chemical reactions. I’ve crushed on my fellow high school teacher, Thraal, since we first met up in the staff lounge. He’s a big, brawny orc, and when he scowls at me through his thick glasses, I pretty much ignite. Sadly, he doesn’t realize I exist. When we’re trapped inside the janitor’s closet during a Halloween dance, I take the opportunity to show him I’m special. A few spontaneous kisses suggest he might like me too. Until we’re rescued, and he goes back to ignoring me. Well, other than when we get stuck beneath the bleachers or when we’re locked inside the field hockey supply shed overnight. Can I find true love with a geeky orc science teacher? Orc-us Pocus is a spicy monster romcom and Book 1 in the Love at First Orc Series. Each book is standalone, but expect cameos. Plan on hijinks with orcs, heat, and a happy ever after.

Orc-ishly Ever After

2023

My fiancé’s mother is a real monster -in-law & she’s determined to break us up. I’ve been dating an orc, Jarum, for a few months when he proposes. I hesitate before saying yes. I want to be with him, but I’m nervous about what might be expected from an orc bride. When I agree, he says we can’t fully mate until his parents approve and I’ve completed two ancient orc marriage tests. We love each other, so the tests will be easy, right? We travel to the orc kingdom, where I meet his mother, who implies she doesn’t think I’m good enough for her darling son. Then she begins the tests. Who would’ve thought impaling her in the chest with an axe would impress her? As soon as I please Jarum’s mom, he and I will be joined in wedded bliss. But one cultural blunder on my part leads to another, and I worry I can’t make this work. Can a human and an orc merge two worlds together to find their happy ever after? Orc-ishly Ever After is Book 2 in the Love at First Orc world. Each book is standalone but it’s best if read in order. Expect plenty of humor, heat, and a guaranteed happy ever after.
