Book Description
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?

Book Description
In The Fallen Elves, book three of The Second Neoluzian War epic fantasy series, the wicked Orc dictator Arkan Spiritstrike, his wizards and military generals are on the verge of laying waste to the elven cities of Balenwood and Oakmantle after destroying the human settlements in the northern lands. This is a time of desperation for the good races because Darius has been lost to lower Neoluzia due to the Gathering of Replenishment spell cast upon him by members of the secretive wizard guild, the Veiled Institution. David Parr, a human from Earth summoned by Darius that reluctantly remains in Neoluzia to assist the Salon of Enlightenment against their Orc enemies, must find the great necromancer Termaplix if the land is to be saved. Finding Termaplix may be impossible however, for the hero from the War of Cleansing has been hidden in a secret place due to unknown circumstances one thousand years ago--a tomb long since forgotten to the current generations in the land. Perilously stifled in their shift away from the old magic and the forced elimination of history, those that Parr seeks to help against the enemy from the north must first learn to embrace the gift of magic again, an art banished in antiquity by the deception of peace and the deep wounds of the surviving populations in the first war.

Book Description
Orc boys sometimes grow up to be wicked... On a dreamlike day, an impulsive princess kissed a dying orc boy in a sunlit garden. Years later, failing to save her kingdom which balances on the brink of revolt, she flees a nightmarish reality to track down her exiled elven love. He's been ruthlessly slain. And the remorseless orc who killed him cages her in his fortress. He locks her behind bars by day and demands too much of her by night. Gradually, though, he unveils to her his world, his people, his tormented past, his embittered soul, and she stumbles into moments of unanticipated resplendence and overpowering bliss. The lines between good and bad blur. But she has to stand her ground. She has to shield her heart. Because how can a captive confined to a gilded cage freely give a heart whose love has blossomed in a poisoned prison? Reviewer reactions: "...really perversely compelling in some awful way... I love, love, love, love OMG love that he is all, "Pretend I'm him - your lover." So many feels! It's so f*cked up and so great." Trigger warning: a fiercely emotional captive/captor romance, kissing/touching for trade ('do this for x'), and a heroine who will survive it all

Book Description
Down the mountain, one orc who asks too many questions tumbles, fleeing his past, with only an elven horse, a pair of boots, and an old book for company. Below the whole world awaits him, filled with humans, elves, trolls, and a thousand other monsters that make a habit of killing little orcs like Talking-Wind. Worse than any of them is the Lady of Firebrand Peak, the dragon who told Talking-Wind to stay put and wait to be eaten like a good orc. Orcs hate questions, but the one thing they hate more than orcs that ask too many questions is an orc looking for all the answers. The pursuit of dangerous knowledge only ever leads to trouble for the tribe. The Lady is not kind, nor is she forgiving. If Talking-Wind wishes to have any kind of chance to survive he will have to understand why dragons are what they are, and what makes dragons do what dragons do. If he can stay one step ahead of the Lady of Firebrand Peak maybe, just maybe, he might even find a way to fight back. Talking-Wind will need answers. And a lot of them.
