Carys has a wagon full of honey, a hateful one-eyed goose, and a talent for getting lost anywhere with roads.
She only means to sell at Thistledown's midsummer fair, mend her broken hive boxes, and roll on before anyone expects her to stay. But every bed in town is taken, her bees need shelter before nightfall, and the only man with both a spare room and the hands to save her boxes is Madoc.
Madoc is an enormous orc woodwright with a scowl sharp enough to split kindling. He wants his quiet workshop left alone. He does not want a sunshine beekeeper in his yard, her vicious goose underfoot, or the whole warm mess of her life tucked into the loft above his shop.
There is one room. One bed. One fair week.
He says she can stay until her boxes are mended. She tells herself she is leaving when the lanterns come down. But Madoc builds care into everything he touches, and Carys has never known what to do with a man who says almost nothing while making room for her everywhere.
What happens when the first home she has ever wanted belongs to the grumpiest orc in town?
