I Gave You My Heart by T.B. Bond

Goblin boy loves gnome girl. Expectations are telling them that their attraction is wrong, but they don’t want to be right.

Aaron King is the heir apparent. When he’s not in the King’s shadow, he’s carving out his own accomplishments as Roguemaster in the Las Vegas portion of the Goblin Kingdom. Everything is perfect except the torch he carries for the leader of the gnome colony back home. He wants her by his side but nothing says conflict of interest like having an affair with a subordinate. There is no way to tell what her true feelings are as long as he is the prince of the kingdom.

Love is for the cats as far as Zana King is concerned. Last Christmas she told the man she loved her feelings and regretted it ever since he bailed for Vegas without a word. Fortunately running the colony has kept her from thinking—too much. It’s hard to stay focused when the Goblin King falls in love. Romance and fantasy matches are all everyone talks about. With impending nuptials on the morrow for the King, it is expected that she too will find someone. Except there is only one that she wants.

An attack on the kingdom brings these two together and in each other’s hearts. With expectations and constant change surrounding them, will they find their way to each other or end up on opposite ends of the desert?
