One is all wind and whimsy. The other all scars and silence. Together, they’re building something that just might last.

BERYL
Relationships? Not my thing. I like flirting, pretty things, and keeping things breezy—just like a good Sylph should. I’ve got a job I love, coworkers I adore, and enough sparkly highlighters to wallpaper a house. So why does Kjartan, the hulking orc carpenter with a quiet voice and a missing finger, make my heart flutter like it’s been caught in a windstorm?

One failed hookup and a surprising proposal later—dating, not that other D-word—and suddenly we’re buying furniture together like a couple of nesting lovebirds. But is good sex and shared home decor taste enough to bridge the gap between his countryside roots and my city life? Or am I doomed to fly solo again?

KJARTAN
After everything I’ve been through, I know better than to believe in second chances. But Beryl—bright, bold, unpredictable Beryl—sees through the walls I’ve spent years building. And somehow, he likes what he finds.

A single night with him turns into something more: weekend visits, cozy nights, and building a life one bookshelf at a time. But can I risk my heart again for someone who’s made of wind, here today, gone tomorrow? Or is this the moment I finally let myself believe in love?

Flighty Hearts & Broken Parts is a cozy MM monster romance featuring a silent orc with a broken heart, a flirty Sylph who talks a mile a minute, chore play, shared home improvement projects, and a low-stakes love story filled with warmth, healing, and a guaranteed HEA.
