The Orc's Keeper

di Bryony Larke (Autore)

Ribbon & Flint, 2026

For seven days he may ask for nothing. Every step toward him has to be hers, and she has to say it out loud. Annest Coyle is paid to keep the seclusion house on the common because she is nobody's kin. In six years she has never done more than carry food to the hatch. Then the bond wakes in Mazrak Durhenn, the stock-master the whole market steps aside for, and it has woken for her. That evening he walks up the common, sets the key in her palm and drops his own bar. He could break the latch at any hour. If he does, he can never ask her again. So he will not. On the second night she asks to be let in, and she stays for supper. After that she asks for more. By noon the valley knows the keeper has gone in, and among orcs that is an answer. The guild says she has spoiled the rite. His cousin wants the bond struck. The hearing offers her a tidy way out: turn the key and call it a mistake. She would have to say what she wants in front of everyone. Curvy heroine, size difference, fated mates, and a dangerous male who is gentle with exactly one person. Explicit, open door, standalone with a happy ending. Perfect for fans of Finley Fenn and Ruby Dixon.
