A beautiful injured girl. A brutish orc hunter. When they're snowed-in for Christmas, will their forbidden passion be enough to warm cold enemy hearts, or will it prove too hot to handle? I’m promised to the son of my father’s enemy to pay off his debt. However, I detest Azrael and could never be his bride. I run away into the forest to think, where I fall into a ravine and injure my leg. A giant, green brute of a man finds me. He tells me he tends a reindeer farm and is searching for one of his reindeer who got lost. I’m sure he’s going to kill me. However, instead he takes me to his cabin and binds my wounds. He’s kind and gentle, and I find myself falling for him even though I know I shouldn’t. To make matters worse, a snowstorm traps us in the orc’s cabin and Christmas is in two days. And I’m keeping a secret…one so big that if revealed could destroy everything… The injured girl in my forest is a headache I don’t need right now. Not when one of my reindeer is missing and there’s a snowstorm coming. Both our necks will be on the line if I don’t find the creature soon. But the girl needs me, and without my healing powers her wounds could prove fatal. I’m tempted to take her for myself, but then I learn she’s another man’s bride. However, if she doesn’t leave my cabin soon, I may not be able to stop myself from claiming her as my own gift come Christmas morning… \Get ready for this fantasy holiday romance featuring all your favorite* \- Orcs, elves, and more \- Steamy instalove \- Holiday romance \- Snowed-in \- Love triangle \- Family loyalty \- Animal rescue \- Christmas magic \- HEA \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\* Embark on an epic journey in Tempted by the Orc, a steamy novella in the Orcs Unbound series, where the line between fantasy and reality blurs, and where the greatest treasure of all may be found in the arms of a monster.
