Jake shouldn't have been born an omega. He has big hands, big feet, big... well, everything. He's nothing like the sweet and dainty omegas he sometimes sees in the street, usually in the company of men who carry with them the alluring smell of alpha everywhere they go. Each time this happens, Jake has to cross the road. He's given up on the idea of ever being like those omegas. By the time he turned twenty, he realized he could never catch an alpha's eye. Now that he's twenty-eight, even the silly dreams he used to entertain as a young omega - that somehow, an alpha who'd like someone like him, who'd want him to carry his puppies, existed in the world - have faded from his mind. Until he catches a scent that makes him dizzy. During a bar brawl. From which he staggers out, bloody, adrenaline pumping in his veins. And he receives a kiss - and a bit more than he bargained for - that leaves him breathless from the man he leaped to defend during the scuffle, ending up fighting side by side with him. And then a proposition from the powerful Salazar family comes - to work for them as a bodyguard. In the Salazar mansion, he catches the same scent again, maddening him and his omega senses, despite the heat suppressants he's on. The alpha who kissed and did other things to him lives there. But who is he? Oh no, Jake realizes with dread. He's one of the Salazar brothers. The middle child. The troublemaker. The playboy. What has he gotten himself into? Warnings: Smut Violence (only against the bad guys, not between the main characters - my guys love each other very much)

A marriage built on power. A love never given.

Beneath the city's glitter, there's a place whispered about in drunk promises and half-broken moans - Eden Below. A club for the powerful. The curious. The ones who know paradise never came without a price. Lucien Drax built it for control. Cassian Vale runs it with a smile. Together, they own every secret that walks through those velvet doors. Until Ren Calder-exhausted, beautiful, and entirely out of place-stumbles into their world because his loud-mouthed best friend dragged him out for "fun." He was supposed to dance, not get noticed. He was supposed to leave, not stay. But in Eden Below, no one leaves unnoticed.

Luca Valmont has it all: the name, the money, the power, and a reputation for being an untouchable playboy. Groomed to inherit the Valmont empire, he lives with the pressure of legacy on his shoulders- and a hollow sense of superiority in his chest. Charismatic but cold, Luca treats omegas like disposable toys, refusing to acknowledge the girl he got pregnant, let alone the child that came from it. Emotions are weakness. Attachment is dangerous. Love? Out of the question. But when a new teacher arrives at his elite business school, everything changes. Andre Alexandre is carefree, grounded, and maddeningly patient- everything Luca isn't. He's also Luca's best friend... and the one person whose presence makes Luca's carefully controlled world unravel. Suddenly, Luca's body starts betraying him in terrifying ways. He ignores it, buries it, outruns it-until one night at a party, it all comes crashing down. He goes into heat. Andre is the only one there. The only one who can help. Luca wakes up pregnant. Furious. Confused. Abandoned-when Andre disappears without a trace. Desperate to escape the shame and scrutiny, Luca fakes his and his brother's deaths with the help of their mafia-connected mother and flees to a remote countryside. The plan is simple: hide away, give birth, give the child up, then return to the city with a fabricated story and no strings attached. But the quiet life doesn't stay quiet for long. As the pregnancy progresses and the baby grows, so does something else- something Luca has tired to deny since this whole thing went down. What if he wants the baby?
