Staying immune to one sweet, bumbling orc cowboy's heart-melting charm might be impossible.Gracie: Escaping my old life as a reality TV star was supposed to be my fresh start, not a one-way ticket to the Wild West and romance with an orc cowboy. But when I take a job at Lonesome Creek, a Western-themed orc tourist destination needing social media help, I’m hit with a whole new kind of challenge. Between attacking pink ostrich-chickens, bucking sorhoxes, and one sweet, brooding orc who makes the best muffins and kisses me until I see stars, I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’ve found something worth fighting for. But if I can’t spin this new business and my feelings for Tark into something real, I could lose everything I’ve worked hard to rebuild. Including my heart.Tark: Gracie is my mate. I knew it the instant we touched. Her smile draws me in deeper than the caves of the orc kingdom, and she’s amazing with social media. But she’s human, and they don’t fall in love as fast as orcs. Despite fumbling with my words and tripping over my own feet, I’m determined to show her that she’s the missing piece in my heart and the only person I want to share my future with. But she won’t be at Lonesome Creek forever. If I can’t prove I’m worth loving, she’ll leave when the job is over, and I'll be left as lonely as the stark land around me.Wrangling the Orc Cowboy is Book 1 in the Brides of the Lonesome Creek Orcs Series.

A runaway bride shouldn’t trust anyone, least of all her orc cowboy savior. But every time he looks at me, I lose the urge to run.Beth: I’ve been controlled my whole life. First by my father. Then by the man he was forcing me to marry. Instead of saying I do, I ran, landing into the arms of a brawny orc cowboy with quiet strength and dark eyes that see too much. Ruugar swears he'll protect me, but I see the way he looks at me, like he’s holding himself back. Like I belong to him.
