“Book Descriptions: Banished as an outcast and wounded in the wilderness, Daphne thinks her luck can’t get any worse. Until she encounters her people’s monstrous enemies: the orcs. Surrounded by fearsome warriors, she braces for an excruciating death… not to be carried to safety by a rugged, charming orc! But as Daphne dares to hope that her luck in life and love has changed, a secret from her past threatens her chance at a new beginning.
Hawthorn can’t ignore his instincts to rescue the captivating, injured female he finds in the forest. When his people nurse her back to health, they discover she is the key to unlocking an ancient, magical healing gift. And she will need a protector. To honor both the calling of his heart and his duty as head warrior, Hawthorn prepares to fight in a challenge to claim that right. However, as the day draws near and his rivals prove to be worthy adversaries, he fears that fate has other plans.
Each book in the Orcs & Outcasts series is a steamy, stand-alone, monster fantasy romance with a happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers.” DRIVE
