One Omega artist with crippling anxiety. One Alpha cowboy with a devastating need for control. A plague that threatens their sanity, their sense of self, and their freedom. The only cure? Find your mate. Fast. June I loathe the city. I despise crowds. But most of all, I hate the anxiety that’s ruling and ruining my life. Aura sickness. A devastating disease with a ticking clock that twists you into the worst version of yourself. The longer I remain unmated, the worse it gets. But how do I find my Alpha when dating in this loud, bustling city sets my flight instincts into overdrive? Driven by desperation, I reply to a mysterious ad in the last pages of the paper: Remote outback town seeks eligible Omega brides for local Alpha cowboys. Apply to Ida Parson for more information. Now I’m on a midnight bus to the middle of nowhere. It might be my last hope. Or it might be a terrible mistake. Ben I like self-discipline. I love order. But most of all, I thrive on control. My volatile aura has taken that from me. I’m one violent outburst away from doing something I’ll regret forever. I’ve lost the respect of my workers, my friends, and even myself. Without a mate to soothe my aggressive aura, I’m destined to go insane. But in the wild Australian desert, you won’t find an unmated Omega for hundreds of kilometres. Until I see this little stranger. Shivering on a bus stop bench in spite of the scorching midday sun. She’s lost. She’s terrified. She’s mine. Welcome to the Australian outback. It’s burning hot during the day, freezing cold at night, and home to some rough-and-ready Alpha cowboys looking for their Omega mates. Get ready for some short, sweet, and steamy Omegaverse with a down-under twist. Outback Claim is the first book in the Aussie Alphas series and can be read as a standalone. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA.
