The Orc's Sweetheart: A Small Town Monster Romance
Elle Sterling
Creatures & Cottages #1
A cottagecore dreamer moves to an island town and falls for the grumpy orc whose quiet life she's disrupted.
Description
Tilly is ready to live her cottagecore dreams on Starry Hill—a quiet island town where life is easy. Or so she thought. Bodin enjoys his peaceful lifestyle, supportive community, and fulfilling job. But when Tilly blows in from Cape Easton, a place he’s sworn he’ll never set foot in again, his uncomplicated existence is turned upside down. With awkward misunderstandings aplenty, can Tilly and Bodin conquer her pride and his prejudice and find love? Will the sweet meddling of Starry Hill’s residents help them embrace their attraction to one another, or will the ghosts of their pasts overshadow their future? The Orc’s Sweetheart is a sweet and spicy, small town monster rom-com. It’s the first book in the Creatures & Cottages series. Each book can be read as a standalone. For readers 18+
