In a non-shifting alpha/omega society, omegas have become so scarce, they’re sequestered at birth in isolated facilities. Rafael Vargas, cyber expert, is an omega hiding in plain sight. At least until activists recruit him to hack an omega facility and rescue the children. He gets away clean until a prime alpha unwittingly hires him to trace the hack. With his precious freedom at risk, Rafael battles his instinctive attraction to the alpha. Grant Tenereth, an alpha overseeing the omega facilities, is hell-bent on finding the kidnapped children. But from the moment he hires the fascinating but challenging Rafael, Grant finds himself questioning his rock-solid devotion to the rules. When he learns the man is an omega as well as a criminal hacker, he tries to do the right thing for the law, even if it isn’t the right thing for him. Or for the omega. Grant struggles, trapped between duty and desire. Rafael aches for love but fears losing his independence. Will they realize before it’s too late that what they have isn’t just instinct? It’s everything.

To Tame an Omega

Rafael lay down. “Maybe someone will come check on us. Like the caretaker. Even if he doesn’t, it shouldn’t be too long until they get it fixed. Probably only a couple hours. Not long at all.” He sounded like he was trying and failing to convince himself.


Grant went into the bathroom and checked to see if the water was still on. It was. He came out, lit the second candle, and picked up his gym bag. “Good news, we’ve got water. I’m going to grab a shower while it’s still hot.”


Under the warm spray, he soaped himself and tried to figure out the sleeping arrangements. The choices were few: the one narrow bed, the straight-backed desk chair, or the floor. He didn’t want to come on too strong, but God, he wanted to snuggle against that warm flesh and wrap his arms around the alluring body.


The only question was if the man would be okay with sharing and, of course, being poked by Grant’s raging hard-on in the process.
