"Filled with so much love, heart, and delicious baked goods." – Rebecca Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

From the beloved author of the Adenashire series comes a brand-new, delightful cosy romantasy about a wicked witch, a gentle orc, and a love spell gone right.

***

As Fraywell's self-proclaimed villainess, Iris needs a fearsome enforcer. Instead, she gets Talon: a half-orc as sweet as the cookies he bakes – and just as irresistible.

Iris Weyward wants to be bad. Truly bad. Terrifyingly, gloriously villainous. But after helping her sisters unleash a spell to throw the realm into chaos, Iris is left feeling strangely empty – and not at all like the villain of her dreams. So, she sets off for the quiet town of Fraywell to build her wicked legacy alone.

Things start promisingly: a crooked little cottage, a reputation for curses and potions, and a healthy dose of fear from the locals. But when her ogre bodyguard disappears, Iris needs new muscle. Good thing a fearsome orc just toppled over in her yard. Naturally, she decides to reanimate him. It's a perfect solution.

Only, Talon isn't the brooding warrior she was hoping for. He's gentle. He bakes. Worst of all, he's nice. But Iris can't possibly have a thing for her new employee. She's supposed to be the most wicked witch in town!

While Iris struggles to turn Talon into the enforcer she deserves, her sisters arrive seeking help – their magic is fading, and the cause may be closer than any of them realise. The timing couldn't be worse, and falling for an orc wasn't supposed to be part of her villain era, but love might turn out to be the best spell she's ever cast…

Death Meets Cute plunges readers into an enchanting setting and a feel-good romantasy tale that genre fans will not want to miss. With J. Penner’s trademark fantastical worldbuilding and comforting storytelling, this delightful cosy fantasy promises to be your next favourite escape!
