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

A wry smile of satisfaction curved his lips. At least he’d suckered Grant for a while—the man had believed the attraction between them was lust, not instinct. But that tiny triumph wouldn’t be much comfort for long—not after he went into heat.


The sudden memory of his one and only heat at the age of fifteen had him shivering. His mother had provided him with a selection of sex toys, some herbal soothers, and all the privacy he might want. But nothing had eased the gaping need to be filled, the relentless, writhing drive to mate.


Grant was right about Rafe revealing anything the man wanted to know. After twelve years of suppressants, a heat cycle would crack his resistance like river ice in a spring thaw. The idea of begging the alpha for relief sickened him at the same time his omega side thrilled to it.
