One former bad-boy orc working on a fresh start.

One distressed woman yearning to belong.

One night together.

I’m stranded on the side of an icy mountain with a busted ankle. Alone. And night is coming.

This is what I get for trying to prove that I’m independent.

My heart twists in relief when I hear the voices of Search and Rescue.

Other parts of me clench when I see my rescuer—tall, muscular, green, and tusked.

How do I explain to myself and my family that after one night, I’m in love with the bad boy orc?

One Night with Her Mountain Orc steamy, cozy, forced proximity, small-town romance with an orc who thinks he's no good for her.

It is the first in the Toothsome Monster Romance series of stand-alone, sweet & spicy, cozy monster romance novellas. Guaranteed to have an HEA, intended for mature audiences.

In the quiet, magical corners of Moonfang Haven, love doesn’t just bloom—it prowls, growls, and sometimes has tusks.

Read full series description

This is a town where a reclusive orc might rescue you from a snowstorm, a grumpy brewer might warm your heart after a night gone sideways, and a cozy library could become the backdrop to an unexpectedly tender moment between opposites. Toothsome Monster Romance isn’t your average small-town series. Here, fantasy and feeling go hand-in-hand, wrapping spice, heart, and humor into bite-sized novellas that feel both familiar and delightfully strange.

What makes these stories stand out isn’t just the monster romance trope done right—it’s the warmth pulsing beneath the surface. These tales are rooted in deep emotional connection, with strong-willed heroines who carry real scars and longing, and orcish love interests who are more than just growls and muscles—they’re caretakers, misfits, and unexpectedly soft. The dynamics—grumpy-sunshine, forced proximity, forbidden attraction—are classic, but the execution is fresh, full of wry charm and cozy sensuality.

Set in a town where enchantments hum in the background and every corner holds a hint of the extraordinary, the series creates a lush escape for readers craving sweet and spicy monster romance that doesn't skimp on emotional payoff. Each story stands on its own but shares a beating heart: that longing—for connection, for safety, for someone who sees you fully, fangs and all.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy romance with a bold twist, this series is a quiet, rising favorite in the genre—one of those treasures readers stumble upon and eagerly pass along, whispering, “Just trust me on this one.”
