Salt in the Air, Scent on My Skin

Santa is an Omega who doesn't trust Alphas-not after what he's been through. He's built his walls high and learned to survive alone, sharp-tongued and guarded. Transferring to a new academy is supposed to be a clean slate, but nothing prepares him for Perth.

Perth is an Alpha professor with restraint like iron and eyes that see too much. He didn't expect the new student in his class to be an Omega-or to smell like coconut, sun-warmed sand, and something dangerously addictive.

When instinct meets resistance, and safety starts to feel like home, can two people haunted by the past find something real in each other?

A slow-burn A/B/O story about trust, scent, and the quiet ache of falling in love when you least expect it.
