Ensnared By the Orc by Tara Phillips

Ensnared in a hunter’s trap.

The orc who rescues her wants more for helping her than just her hand in marriage. Runa thought she enjoyed her simple life as the local village’s hermit. She has her cottage, her dog and her solitude.

That all changes when an elf knocks at her door and asks for help crossing the orc’s territory. When her troll hound disappears along with the elf she sets off to find her dog. When she’s ensnared in the same trap as her hound she finds herself at the mercy of an Orc hunter, the one who dug the pit. He doesn’t want much for rescuing them, only the rest of her life.

When her dog follows the orc home, Runa finds herself caught between the comfort of home and the promise of a new life.
