Now he's angry that I'm dating a pack of hot guys, like somehow the rules are supposed to be different for me? I can't divorce him. We're business partners in St. Louis' hottest new Michelin star restaurant, and the place is mortgaged to the hilt. Still, the unfairness of it all is grinding me down day by day. The only bright spot is the new men I've met. Together, Zalen, Emiel, Byron, and Luca run the Hope Project, a center for at-risk youth in that middle of East St. Louis' gangland. I feel more at home with them than I ever did in my beta-style marriage… at least until their dangerous pasts start to creep into my present-day life, threatening the one thing I've worked so hard to achieve—my success as the chef-owner of the Elderflower Inn. With everything falling apart, can a misfit pack of broken former gang members somehow help me stitch my life back together? * * *. Knot Playing Book One. is the first half of an alphomic non-shifter duology, originally published on Kindle Vella. It contains M/F and M/M. less

Six broken people walk into a Michelin-star restaurant…. Unfortunately, that's not the opening line of a joke. It's my life. With my marriage in tatters, I've fallen into the arms of a misfit pack of damaged men trying to do the right thing. They took me in, gave me a safe place to land, and helped me through my heat when my shipment of black market blocker pills fell through... moreSix broken people walk into a Michelin-star restaurant…. Unfortunately, that's not the opening line of a joke. It's my life. With my marriage in tatters, I've fallen into the arms of a misfit pack of damaged men trying to do the right thing. They took me in, gave me a safe place to land, and helped me through my heat when my shipment of black market blocker pills fell through. But even though Zalen, Emiel, Byron, and Luca want nothing more to do with the street gangs that defined their early lives, it seems that gang life isn't finished with them yet. When the ghosts of their pasts start to haunt my present, I have to choose whether to run, or stand and fight for the life I'm trying to build. I'm surrounded by people keeping dangerous secrets. But before we can have any kind of a future together, we'll have to put the past to rest. Too bad the past has other ideas. -o-o-o-. Knot Playing Fair. is a reverse harem 'whychoose' non-shifter omegaverse duology with a male and female omega at the center of the pack, along with lots of steamy M/F and M/M scenes.

Today I learned that the only thing worse than getting caught midway through an assassination attempt… is finding out that you're scent-matched to your captors. Oops. My name is Jez. I'm a shadow. A girl who doesn't exist. No home. No last name. No identification papers. I haunt the streets like a ghost, silently doling out the kind of vigilante justice I never received for myself, as a survivor of human trafficking. Matthew 'Knox' Knockley was supposed to be my highest value target ever... moreToday I learned that the only thing worse than getting caught midway through an assassination attempt… is finding out that you're scent-matched to your captors. Oops. My name is Jez. I'm a shadow. A girl who doesn't exist. No home. No last name. No identification papers. I haunt the streets like a ghost, silently doling out the kind of vigilante justice I never received for myself, as a survivor of human trafficking. Matthew 'Knox' Knockley was supposed to be my highest value target ever. Society knows him as a rich and successful businessman. My client knows him as the ruthless trafficker responsible for the disappearance of his eleven-year-old sister, along with hundreds of other innocent victims. When Knox's packmates burst into his penthouse suite to find me standing over his convulsing body with an empty syringe, they don't care that we're scent-matched. Now, I'm their prisoner. Heath, Knox's right-hand man, looks at me with murder in his forest-green eyes. Gage, the terrifying mountain of a bodyguard, seems willing to listen to my side of the story—but not to let me go. And worst of all, the sweet beta best friend I betrayed and abandoned months ago is now working for them. Does he even know what he's become a part of? If my client was telling the truth, I've fallen into the hands of monsters for the second time in my life. If Knox's pack is telling the truth, I may have killed one of my fated pack as part of a frame-job. I'm stuck in limbo like Shrödinger's Girl, but either way, I'm screwed. While Knox fights for his life in the hospital, the power players in Chicago's seedy underworld are locked in a struggle for control of the lucrative slave trade. And somehow, I've ended up at the center of the turf war. There are some mistakes you can't come back from. I should know. I've just made one of them. -o-o-o-. Knot Your Victim is a 130,000-word non-shifter standalone novel with induced heats, an accidental mating bite, and MF and MM within a pack setting. While loosely connected to the Knot Playing Fair duet, it isn't necessary to read those books first. less
