Synopsis (Goodreads):
Her grumpy orc is going to hammer his way into her heart!

When Pippa finds herself in Fairhaven Falls with empty pockets and a brand new baby, she’s thrilled when a sweet - and slightly scary - old lady offers her a job and a place to live. Their new home isn’t much, but it offers a desperately needed shelter.

Then her grumpy orc neighbor comes charging into their lives. She should be wary of the huge male, but when she watches him handling his hammer, fear is the last thing she feels. And when he cradles her daughter so tenderly against that big muscular chest? Her heart isn't the only thing melting!

Trogar likes his own company just fine, thank you very much. When his grandmother insists he help out his new neighbor, he reluctantly agrees. But the more time he spends with the curvy human and her adorable daughter, the more he wants to claim them both as his own.

When Pippa’s past catches up with her, can Trogar keep her and her daughter safe? And when the dust settles, will he have a new family - or the solitary life he no longer wants?
Thoughts on The Single Mom and the Orc: We're back in Fairhaven Falls and Flora is working her matchmaking magic again. (I'm not even going to clarify that it might not be magic because the lady has an uncanny ability to show up and have the right thing happen at the right time and she somehow gets everyone where they need to be.) This time around, she has a single mom on the run and her loner of a grandson in her sights and YESSSSSS.

So. Pippa initially thinks she's only passing through Fairhaven Falls as she tries to find someplace safe for her and her daughter to hunker down. Flora, however, has other ideas. Soon Pippa's set up in a cottage that needs a little TLC with a grumpy orc neighbor who keeps finding reasons to stop by. Poor Trogar is also a little terrified of all the care a baby needs, but he suck sit up and soon he's changing diapers like a pro.

No lie, Trogar is an utter sweetheart. He might not know much about babies, but he's fierce and protective and willing to learn. He's also a little smitten by Pippa and her sweetness. Soon the two of them (plus Daisy) are spending time together and getting their hearts tangled up.

A little danger, a lot of elbow grease, a baby who is quick to wrap one burly orc around her finger, a brotherly reunion, an orc with a penchant for organization and a willingness to learn, and a lady who found the place she didn't know she was looking for. GOOD STUFF!
