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

Appalled at his foolishness, he left the kitchen and took a quick tour around the sparsely furnished living room. It didn’t look like Rafael spent much time there at all.


Grant continued to explore and found a den, rich with the omega’s unique scent. Breathing deep, he sucked it into his lungs, wallowing in the tantalizing aroma. This was the room where Rafael spent his time.


Computer equipment covered a battered wooden desk and spilled over onto a Formica table. A flat-screen television hung on a wall, with a well-worn, brown easy chair facing it. On the back of the chair hung a homemade crocheted afghan. It was old, but preserved with care. With a small smile for the wild jumble of multi-colored yarns, he buried his nose in it and shamelessly savored the lingering scent.
