The Orc and Her Thrall

After a raid and too much mead, Violet the towering orc shield-maiden pins her human thrall and is stunned that he's thrilled, not afraid. Drunken boasts turn into vulnerable questions: is she desirable, could he love her? Between feasts and battles, she realizes her best friend is the one she wants as chief, partner and future family. A rowdy, heartfelt Viking-fantasy romance.
