Author Description

You need a mate. You're getting old. My father believed orc females had three main purposes-marry a good orc male, have many orc babies, and run a good orc household. Too bad I didn't want those things. Well, I wanted to have a mate and a family, but I wanted other things too. So I made a deal with my father. I would find my own acceptable male of worth before my birthday and get married. How hard could it be? A universal orc rule dictated that an orc who is a clan leader must have a wife. Not that I was a clan leader, not yet. The Orc Council was blocking me at every turn, particularly High Councilor Ironspike. But I would fulfil this last requirement, find an orc wife then he would have no other grounds to oppose me. Being an orc raised by humans, many orc clans avoided me. How would I find a wife? Enter Love Bites, the most popular matchmatching agency in the tri-state area, and their cutting edge dating app. When our initial matches fail but somehow throw us together, it seems like a match made in heaven. Then my father finds out and threatens to keep us apart. Only by winning the Forging Competition at the Orc Games can we be together. But there is mischief afoot, and witches and other orcs out to sabotage us. Can we ever be together?
