Saved by the Linebacker
Lorelei McGovern had always been a bit of an outlier. She didn't present in high school. She didn't present in college. She presented as a late bloomer in the middle of the street, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the city, with nobody around, or so she thought. Lorelei McGovern's life took an unexpected turn when she presented as an omega-later than most and under circumstances so traumatic that she retreated from the world. Secluded and struggling to accept her new reality, she chose solitude over submission. But when her fathers ask for her help managing their professional football team, she finally steps back into the real world. Two years later, she's the public relations and outreach manager for the Georgia Lightning, her father's professional football team. Still afraid of packs, she's sworn to do what she does best, help others. Enter Teddy Votren, the team's star linebacker-a dominant force on and off the field, yet unexpectedly gentle with her. What she doesn't realize, however, is that Teddy isn't alone. He's part of a pack-Declan, Ashton, Toby, and Ryland-each with their own pull on her soul. And they're scent-matched. Fate has chosen for her, but Lorelei isn't ready to belong to anyone, let alone an already completed pack with powerful alphas who stir both desire and fear within her. Going from alone one day, to practically packed up the next, Lorelei must figure out how to navigate the pack dynamic she's been forced into after a divisional playoff game gone wrong. As they weave themselves into her life, she must confront the truth she's been running from: she is an omega, and she is theirs. But belonging isn't easy, and neither is love. When past wounds resurface and outside forces threaten to tear them apart, Lorelei must decide-will she continue to deny who she is, or will she take her place beside the pack that was always meant to be hers?Complete
