The Arrangement (Omegas of Hunter's Point Book 1)
TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual assault/violence against women Siobhan - I was raised to believe I was special, a jewel, all because of simple trick of genetics. I am an omega. As such, my life was mapped out from birth - mate an alpha of good family, have his children, keep his home - until my future was snatched away from me. Against all odds, I've built a life for myself in a society that now tells me I am worthless. As an unmated omega, my options are limited, but I can no longer afford to accept those limits. Then, an alpha walks into my life - an alpha the old me used to dream about - and he has the money to make my dreams come true. But what will he want in return? Damian - I am everything society expects an alpha to be: rich, handsome, and successful. I want nothing more than to adopt my newly-orphaned nephew, but the courts say that a lone alpha is too rough to be a caregiver. I need a mate, someone softer, someone fit to raise a child, someone to help me fake it just long enough to get custody. It'll take a miracle. What I need is an omega who doesn't want a mate.

"Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

unwanted attachment
Two souls. Alike in ways that only make them clash harder. Same arrogance. Same stubbornness. Same burning egos that refuse to bend. And yet... bound together in a relationship neither of them truly chose. She is a mystery-quiet, guarded, carrying a past she refuses to let anyone see. Every smile is measured, every emotion locked away behind walls built from pain. He is power-cold, controlled, a man the world admires as a successful businessman. But beneath the surface lies something far darker... something even he doesn't fully understand. When fate forces them into a marriage of convenience, it isn't love that blooms. It's war. Words sharper than blades. Silences heavier than confessions. A constant push and pull between hatred and something neither of them is ready to name. But the past they share... refuses to stay buried. Memories haunt them. Truths threaten them. And destiny-cruel and relentless-keeps dragging them back to each other. Will they heal together... or destroy each other piece by piece? Because sometimes, the person you're running from... is the one you're already tied to. And sometimes, love doesn't save you. It consumes you. He wasn't meant to love her. She wasn't meant to trust him. But fate had other plans-and it never plays fair. ❃.✮:▹ ◃:✮.❃ " With you beside me, even the hell feels heaven to me!"

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED)
I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ Cassandra didn't come to Brinkley mansion to belong. She came to survive the year and leave. Then there's Easton Brinkley. Arrogant.
