"Everyone thinks I'm the perfect Omega. Sweet. Obedient. Born to be claimed. But I don't feel perfect. I feel like a fraud.
I was raised to be a prize for the elite. Groomed to smile, to serve, to be everything an Alpha could want. Every step I take is measured. Every word, rehearsed. And Choosing Day is meant to be my reward.
Instead, I'm dragged from the Omega House by a stranger. Terrified. Powerless. I thought this was the end. Then they came.
A fierce Alpha guard who once watched over me in silence. A tattooed biker who smells like smoke and freedom. His Packmate, rough and sharp with eyes that see too much. A broken fighter with pain carved into his skin. And a Beta whose calm voice steadies the chaos inside me.
They save me. Protect me. And then the truth hits harder than anything else—they're my scent matches. They weren't meant to be a Pack. I wasn't meant to Choose them. But fate doesn't care about rules.
Now we're on the run. The city hunts us. My name is a curse. And the truth of who I am? It might tear everything apart. I was raised to be an obedient Omega. But with them . . . I finally feel like me.
Contains mature themes."
"Omegas are meant to follow the rules. To choose the right Pack. To keep the balance.
I did the opposite.
I don't want them. They don't want me. I'm only using them to get to the Alpha I can't live without. He might not be my scent match, but he's the only Alpha I trust. The only one who truly knows me.
But something unexpected happens . . . the Pack decides to help me. At first, it's just survival. A way to get what we all want. Me long gone and their life back to the way it was. But somewhere along the way, emotions tangle, lines blur, and maybe, just maybe . . . I don't want to leave.
Now, the city is in chaos, the authorities are closing in, and time is running out. But I've never been the kind of Omega to back down.
Rules be damned. I'm fighting for what's mine.
Contains mature themes."

"The day every Pack dreams about . . . Omega Choosing day.
Me? I want anything but my Choosing day. It's a web of lies. To be chosen by an Omega is a huge deal here. As if we have any say in it. We don't even get to choose which Pack we get. We just draw a name out and then it's a 'happy ever after.' For the Alphas.
But an Omega reveals the way to secure the pack of my dreams . . . a way to rig the draw. There's just one catch. I don’t know of them or even their names. Only the memory of a blue-eyed Alpha who strode into a Beta only diner days before I presented. He smelled of blueberry pancakes and . . . mine.
But when a huge Alpha drops over the Omega house wall, days before the Choosing. The Omega in me knows he's my Pack. He reveals the news that my blue-eyed alpha is turning feral. The only way to stop it, is bonding me.
When I draw Pack Bentley on my Choosing day, I'm beyond happy. Little did I know we had drawn suspicion from the authorities, who now shadow our every move. Tampering with the draw is one thing. But harboring a feral Alpha will send them all to prison.
Lucky for me. I love to break the rules.
Contains mature themes."
"Gremlins Meets Home Alone and it's Anything But a Wonderful Life.
The Lawless Winter Solstice Smackdown is over. Its explosive conclusion has left the town reeling. Christmas is just around the corner, but people are feeling little desire to celebrate.
With barely a break in the snowstorms or the horrors from the past stalking the valley, the residents are once more in fear for their lives. Something else is on the loose, it's ravenously hungry, and this time it's got company.
Corrupt forces are still trying to claim the cavern's golden fortune as their own and will stop at nothing to get it. However, their avaricious plans have a fatal flaw that could doom them forever instead of enriching them beyond belief—a man with nothing left to lose.
In the background, Mother Nature has begun a relentless process that might render the decisions anyone makes about the cavern on Gold Ridge, or their own lives, pointless."

But Buddy has personal history with Kara, and he's determined to bring her home safely. Enlisting the aid of three friends from his military days and working through back channels, Buddy launches an off-the-books foreign invasion to find not only Kara but also the storage location of the drugs bound for LA.

"'The perfect substitute for that good-time trip to California you've decided not to take after all.' —Kirkus Reviews
A new breed of brazen criminal forces Buddy Steel into unfamiliar territory. Will he outsmart the ingenious thieves before they get the best of him?
Buddy Steel, acting Sheriff of Freedom, California, is enjoying some well-deserved R&R at a friend's mountain hideaway when he's called home to investigate a home invasion—at his father's address. The break-in is just one in a series, perpetrated by ingeniously inventive burglars. To complicate matters, Buddy must also investigate a spate of cyber crimes targeting local businesses and individuals—an area well outside of his experience and comfort zone.
Already on the trail of the cybercriminals is LAPD Gang Enforcement's foremost computer geek, Detective Quinn Anthony.

From the adjunct of a vicious LA-based cartel to outside of US borders, Buddy and Quinn race to take down the hackers and recover the spoils. The closer they get, the more danger they face; and the more danger they face, the closer they become . . ."
