A TROLL IN THE HAY

OGRAM

Trolls are notoriously solitary, and though I long to find my one true mate, life on my farm, surrounded by earth and crops, has always been enough to fulfill me.

Until the day Hope walks into my farm market to purchase a basket of apples. From that moment, all I can think about is filling her basket. Making her mine for the rest of our days. 

But Hope is only in Harmony Glen on holiday, meaning I have limited time to make the woman who’s never dated a monster fall in love with my big, green, tusk-toothed troll self…or lose what my heart knows is my one chance at love.

HOPE

After monsters stepped out of the shadows, I learned my hometown community isn’t just small-minded, they’re the true monsters.

So, I squirreled away my waitressing tips until I had saved enough for a vacation in Harmony Glen, a small town in Upstate New York known for its “harmonious” multispecies integration. My plan was to see and meet as many monsters as possible, so I could go back home and tell everyone how wrong they are to vilify nonhumans.

What I wasn’t counting on? Falling instantly head over heels for a seven-foot-tall troll when I walk into his charming farm market store.

Ogram is quiet and reclusive. I’m the opposite. It shouldn’t work, but it does. It really, really does. 

Should I chalk it up to the best vacation ever and leave with once-in-a-lifetime memories, or stay and build a forever life with the only person who’s ever felt like home?



A Troll in the Hay is a short, sweet, fluffy, spicy fated mates/instalove story set in the Harmony Glen world. Expect over-the-top instant mutual attraction, humorous language gaffes, size difference, and a troll whose sweetness is only rivaled by the spice he brings.

Harmony Glen Series

Though they once lived in secret, “monsters” have inhabited the earth as long as humans have walked the earth. As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the ability to remain hidden dwindled. Earth’s non-human creatures faced a choice: allow themselves to be discovered, or step forward and introduce themselves. Either option could have ended badly for monsters and humans alike—and in some places, it did.

But not in Harmony Glen.

After The Great Revelation, Harmony Glen welcomed monsters with open arms. This small town in Upstate New York is now home to humans and non-humans! Integration has been so successful in Harmony Glen, the town even changed its motto to “Come for the harmony, stay for the happily ever after.”

Welcome to Harmony Glen. We know you’re going to love it here.
