My new Orc neighbor might be just what Santa ordered this year.
Things in Pilot Knob are shaking up. Times are changing, and so have my neighbors--including the hunky Orc professor that moved in next door.
I can't keep my eyes off him, and I accidentally make him orc engagement cookies. Deep down, I wish the cookies were honest and I could be* his*. He's tempted by my curvy figure in a way most men aren't, and I'm so into that.
Xago ropes me into being his work holiday party date, and that's when it all starts falling apart. Some people aren't ready for change, and between the narrow-minded natives, and my ex, our relationship is on the rocks before it even starts.
Will our holidays get roasted over this open fire? Or will I get my solstice wish?
***This was published in an antho last year and I am reputing it with a few tweaks, but it's mostly the same***
Mature Novella
Note from the Author: Slow burn, 18k, issues with mingling of humans/monsters, I'd say this is more cozy than what I write.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book
This was a really fun and fairly quick Holiday romance. I enjoyed getting to know both Cyra and Xago in this story and how their relationship slowly evolved as they got to know one another. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
