The Orc and the Innkeeper (Elderberry Falls, #1)

by Cora Crane

A small price to pay for a shot at redemption with the woman I’ve never been able to forget.

“You’re still in love with her, aren’t you? Just like you always have been.”

“I want to apologize. Properly. For how I treated you growing up.”

It’s a strange kind of magic, this: the power of sincere words spoken by someone you never thought capable of them.

Don’t you see? He’s been in love with you this whole time.”

you can’t let fear rob you of a chance at real happiness,

Love is a risk, babe. A leap of faith. No one can ever know for sure how it’ll turn out. But if you don’t jump, you’ll never fly.”
