He’ll do anything for his wounded warrior… even wooing him a widow.
In a world of orcs and men, Lady Scall is a widow besieged — by her debts, her demons, and her dangerous lord neighbour. But time is running out, and she’s about to lose everything…
Until the night an orc shows up in her chambers.
Killik is a cold, cruel, condescending spy, and he wants nothing to do with Lady Scall… for himself. But he’s decided she’s the perfect woman for his clanmate. For Ulfarr, the Wolf of Clan Skai.
And Ulfarr isn’t just any orc. He’s a huge, broken, brutal monster with a dark, deadly past…
And Killik wants Lady Scall to help Ulfarr.
To heal Ulfarr.
To handle Ulfarr however she pleases…
In return, Killik will solve all her problems — and he’ll teach her how to tend and tame an orc. And maybe, if she behaves, he’ll fulfill all her own deepest longings, too…
But even a desperate, lonely widow shouldn’t risk such a scandalous affair, right? Especially when Ulfarr’s secrets are darker than she ever imagined, and Killik far more jealous than she knew…
And a deal with two devils might draw more doom to her door… and her heart.
An angsty, full-length, enemies to lovers fantasy romance. Comes after The Beauty and the Orcs, but also reads as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.
Available in ebook, audio, paperback, and hardcover (with an alternate object cover).

Excerpt from The Widow and the Orcs
“I wish to make you an offer, woman,” the orc said. “A fair offer. For both our gain.”
Louisa’s brows snapped up, but she held herself still, waiting. Watching as the orc kept fiddling with the dagger, his eyes dropping to study it, almost as if he were… nervous?
“I shall pay your debts,” he said, slower. “Grant you these lands, for all the rest of your days.”
Wait. Louisa’s breath caught, her eyes widening, because — no. He couldn’t mean that. An orc couldn’t pay her debts. Her mortgages. He couldn’t possibly afford it. Could he?
But his eyes lifted again, meeting hers with calm, collected certainty, and Louisa gulped down air, fought to think. If he would pay that much, surely he wanted something major in exchange. Something monumental. Something utterly appalling, no doubt, something she’d never be able to countenance…
“And?” she asked, though her voice hitched. “What would you want from me in return?”
And at that, the orc… smiled. Smiled, swift and surprisingly stunning, showing her a mouthful of sharp, wolflike teeth. As if he truly was a stealthy, waiting, pacing predator, about to leap for her throat…
“First, you shall allow my kin to keep living on these lands,” he said, so smooth, so easy. “For as long as we might wish. And second…”
Louisa waited, breath bated, her eyes fixed to his face. To where he was still smiling, or perhaps grimacing, as his dagger turned, and its sharp, shining tip pointed toward her…
“And for ten nights,” he continued, a chilly whispered caress, “you shall welcome my fallen kin-brother into your bed, and your heart.”
