Book Description
Orc Mountain needs a midwife. And this devious orc wants her for the job... In a world of recently warring orcs and men, Gwyn Garrett is a lord's daughter on a mission - to escape her lord father, dump her cheating betrothed, and pursue her true calling as a plant-obsessed midwife. Until the night her brand-new house is invaded by an orc. A tall, taunting, treacherous monster, with sharp teeth, vicious claws, and gleaming black eyes. And worst of all, a blatant, brutal mission of his own... He's come to court her. Claim her. Compromise her. But Gwyn is far too clever to fall for this sneaky orc's schemes - right? Even if he moves like a graceful god, if his voice is sweet syrup in her ears. If his low, mocking laugh sparks something hot and reckless, deep in her soul... It's hunger, it's home, it's everything Gwyn never knew she needed - but in its wake, there's only devastation. Defeat. And the realization that she's forever linked with this horrible orc, and his horrible plans... And with the war. The fates of hundreds of women like her. And the truth that Orc Mountain desperately needs her, and maybe this proud, lonely orc does too... ______ Hardcover edition also includes a bonus epilogue!

He's the most feared monster in the realm. And she's what he needs to win his war... In a world of warring orcs and men, Lady Norr is condemned to a childless marriage, a cruel lord husband, and a life of genteel poverty -- until the day her home is ransacked by a horde. And leading the charge is their hulking, deadly orc captain: the infamous Grimarr. And Grimarr has a wicked plan for Lady Norr, and for ending this war once and for all. She's going to become his captive -- and the perfect snare for Lord Norr. There's no possible escape, and soon Lady Norr is dragged off toward Orc Mountain in the powerful arms of her greatest enemy. A ruthless, commanding warlord, with a velvet voice and mouthwatering scent, who awakens every forbidden hunger she never knew she had... But Grimarr refuses to accept half measures -- in war, or in pleasure. And before he'll conquer Lady Norr's deepest, darkest desires, she needs to surrender everything. Her allegiance. Her wedding-ring. Her future... And with her husband's forces giving chase, Lady Norr can't afford to play such a dangerous game -- or can she? Even if this deadly orc's plans might be the only way to save them all?

And when her awful employer makes his darkest demand yet, she flees for the forest, and tumbles toward her doom... Until she's snatched to safety by a huge, vicious green beast. An orc. He's utterly terrifying, with his towering bulk, sharp teeth, and deadly black claws - but his touch is gentle, and his eyes are kind. And his scent is a deep, decadent sweetness, sparking a furious flame between them... But it's only more disaster, because Alma's shy, soft-hearted rescuer is already mated... to another orc. A tall, silent, snarling monster named Drafli, who loathes Alma on sight, and clearly longs for her death. Yet Drafli will do anything for his sweet mate, even if it means tolerating a weak, worthless human. So he makes Alma a cold, calculated offer: he'll share his mate with her... but only on his terms. He wants her silence. Her surrender. Her servitude. And with Alma's fate firmly in Drafli's ruthless hands, how can she face her own dark desires - or all the secrets hidden behind Orc Mountain's walls? Can a lost, lonely housemaid come between two orcs... without being crushed? ______ Paperback edition also includes a bonus epilogue!

Book Description
He's a massive, mocking, murderous monster. And she's offering him... everything. In a world of recently warring orcs and men, Maria is desperate for escape. She's trapped in an opulent prison, tainted by rumours of madness, and wed to a cold, vindictive duke who hungers only for war. But with no family, no funds, and no hope, there's nowhere left to run - except for the one place even a duke can't reach. The place where women almost always meet their doom... Orc Mountain. It's a grim, deadly fortress, filled with fierce, bloodthirsty beasts - and the first orc Maria meets is the most terrifying of them all. A huge, hostile, hideous brute, hardened by hatred and war, who instantly accuses her of foul trickery, and threatens her with death. But this orc also wants something. Something that kindles deep in his gleaming black eyes, in his rough, rugged scent, in the velvet heat of his voice. Something that just might grant Maria his safety... but only if she grants him everything in return. Her defeat. Her dignity. Her devotion... And surely, a duchess wouldn't dare make such a shameful deal with the devil - or would she? Especially when surrender might spark yet more war... or bring the mighty Orc Mountain to its knees? ______ Hardcover edition also includes a bonus epilogue!

Book Description
“Oddly beautiful and impossible to look away from” (Los Angeles Times), the stories in The Fat Artist are suffused with fear and desire, introducing us to a company of indelible characters reeling with love, jealousy, megalomania, and despair. In prose alternately stark, lush and hallucinatory, occasionally nightmarish and often absurd, the voices in Benjamin Hale’s The Fat Artist and Other Stories speak from the margins: a dominatrix whose longtime client, a US congressman, drops dead during a tryst in a hotel room; an addict in precarious recovery who lands a job driving a truck full of live squid; a heartbroken performance artist who attempts to eat himself to death as a work of art. From underground radicals hiding in Morocco to an aging hippy in Colorado in the summer before 9/11 to a young drag queen in New York at the cusp of the AIDS crisis, these stories rove freely across time and place, carried by haunting, peculiar narratives that form the vast tapestry of American life. “A steadily growing…talent” (Kirkus Reviews), Hale’s prize-winning fiction abounds with a love of language and a wild joy for storytelling, earning accolades from writers such as novelist Jonathan Ames, who compared discovering his work to watching Mickey Mantle play ball for the first time; Washington Post critic Ron Charles, who declared him “fully evolved as a writer,” and bestselling author Jodi Picoult, who simply called him “brilliant.” Pairing absurdity with philosophical musings on the unnerving intersections between life and death, art and ridicule, consumption and creation, “the audacious imagination evident in Hale’s acclaimed debut, The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, shines again in this…provocative collection that takes a unique view of the human condition” (Booklist).

Book Description
First in a duology that reimagines fairy tale tropes within a space opera—The Princess Bride meets Princess Leia. Rory Thorne is a princess with thirteen fairy blessings, the most important of which is to see through flattery and platitudes. As the eldest daughter, she always imagined she’d inherit her father’s throne and govern the interplanetary Thorne Consortium. Then her father is assassinated, her mother gives birth to a son, and Rory is betrothed to the prince of a distant world. When Rory arrives in her new home, she uncovers a treacherous plot to unseat her newly betrothed and usurp his throne. An unscrupulous minister has conspired to name himself Regent to the minor (and somewhat foolish) prince. With only her wits and a small team of allies, Rory must outmaneuver the Regent and rescue the prince. How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse is a feminist reimagining of familiar fairytale tropes and a story of resistance and self-determination—how small acts of rebellion can lead a princess to not just save herself, but change the course of history.
