An omega in heat. A broken alpha. An auction that brings them together. Eldin: After months of searching for an alpha who kidnaps omegas, I finally have intel as to where I can catch him. For one night a year, the government turns off aggressor chips for all the alphas allowing them to indulge their carnal and brutal desires by taking part in bidding in an underground club. I’m going there to catch a villain, not enjoy what the night has to offer. Or so I thought. Until my eyes land on the battered and bound omega that wasn’t serviced during his heat. If I don’t bid on him and service him, he might not make it. If I do, I may never catch the alpha who kidnapped my sister. A dark novelette about two troubled males connected by circumstance. Lenght: 14k words/~80 pages. Single POV. 1st person. Please check TW before reading. The story contains dark themes but ends with a well-deserved HEA!

an alternate cover edition can be found here Facing his crush from uni was not what E expected on a blind date. A new dating app. Rules: both parties sit at a table with blindfolds on. Each can ask three questions. If they don’t like the answers, they can leave. If both parties enjoy the conversation, they take the blindfolds off. What can go wrong? Nothing. Unless you come face-to-face with your old crush. This is exactly how Ernesto—an autistic video game programmer with a dominant streak, reconnects with Brian—an easy-going ex-football player with a burgeoning desire to submit. After his secret obsession with Brian comes to light, he realises both of them have changed since their time at uni. E is willing to risk a potential emotional disaster to have Brian under him, even if just for one night. Brian threw himself into his bi-awakening with so much enthusiasm, he got hurt too many times to count, but succumbing to the demands of this lean, geeky Dom may be just what Brian needs. He has to overcome his past to truly give himself to E, at the danger of having his heart broken by a man who desires his body but doesn’t know his secrets. A standalone MM book 2 from the contemporary Pursuit of Love series. High steam/low angst.
