Cedar Ridge

Hiatus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Elias Wren lives a life of precision and quiet control. In the secluded mountain town of Cedar Ridge, he's known as a disciplined and emotionless Beta doctor - clean, punctual, and above suspicion. No one knows he's an unmated Omega who's relied on heat suppressants for over twenty years, burying his past and biology under surgical gloves and self-denial. But when Elias gives his last dose of suppressant to a terrified young Omega trapped in a forced bond, he assures himself that the next shipment will arrive before anything goes wrong. It doesn't.

What follows is a slow unraveling. Elias's long-suppressed heat erupts early and violently. The snowstorm arriving with it threatens to isolate the town for days, trapping him in the worst possible scenario - alone, vulnerable, and exposed.

Except he's not alone.

Boone Callahan, a rough-spoken, reclusive Alpha farmer, makes a rare and unannounced delivery to the clinic on the very night Elias's control begins to fracture. Their relationship - five years of clipped conversations and awkward silence - suddenly becomes something far more dangerous.

As Elias wrestles with the shame and trauma of his past, the growing pregnancy he didn't plan for, and terrifying ghosts from his past, he must also face the uncomfortable possibility that Boone is not the man Elias assumed he was... and that what grows between them might be the closest thing either has ever had to a bond.
