Book Description
The Hired Series is a collection of slightly futuristic contemporary omegaverse romances on the sweeter side. Meet four couples as they come together and work toward creating a better future. Hired for Heat: Alphas were deemed a menace to society and locked away in Alpha-Camps. As an omega, Sandra’s choices were to continue weathering her heat alone, or give into temptation and hire a stud to tend her through it. Safeguards are in place to protect an omega from unwanted pregnancy and bonding when an alpha is Hired for Heat, but what happens when one of them fail? She feels like she’s going crazy as she hunts for her mate, and she’ll change the rules of their world to have him. Hired to Protect: Penelope’s ex didn’t get the hint that it was over between them. Unwilling to live in fear, she hires an alpha to protect her, but she didn’t realize that meant allowing the alpha into her home. Doubt about her actions begin to creep in until she discovers her ex is still stalking her. Not willing to let him dictate her life, she pushes on as usual… Until she’s attacked and dragged into a waiting van. Waking alone, she has no idea what happened to the guard Hired to Protect her or what’s to become of her, but the drugs her ex forces down her throat don’t bode well for her future. Hired to Breed: Annalise is desperate for a baby but unwilling to give up her freedom to take a mate. Hiring a stud is the next best option. She can get what she wants, then send the alpha on his way. Unfortunately, life can never be as simple as she’d like it to be. When all she wanted was a male to do his duty and disappear, how did she end up with the one who values family above all else? Who sneaks his way past her barriers and makes her question what she claims to want…? Will the alpha Hired to Breed her be able to stick to the contract and leave behind the family he helped create, or will Annalise find a way to get her Happily Ever After, after all? Hired for Research: Ordered to take over the Alpha Project, Evelyn has no choice but to go to Eden to do her research. It’s the only place where she can get the samples she needs and observe how alphas interact with the other dynamics, but she’s never even met an alpha before. The people backing the project have a specific outcome they want, but Evelyn refuses to alter her findings for political agendas. Especially after spending time with the hunky alpha assigned to be sure nothing happens to her. An unexpected heat ruins her plans to keep her hands to herself, but she was Hired for Research, and she has to return home. Her findings will never be seen and the alphas won’t be freed if she does what she’s supposed to do, but will the alpha she’s fallen for forgive her and make giving up everything she’s worked for worth it in the end?

No Escape From War

Publisher: Hocus Pocus Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1952824249
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
A free series starter! A hot, enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance with plenty of suspense and action. Revenge. Oh, it was going to be sweet. Warren “War” Channing finally has the chance to nail his beautiful, lying ex. And, no, he doesn’t mean “nail” in the down and dirty sexual way…War means he has the opportunity to send the lovely and infuriating Rose Shadow to jail. Turned out, the woman who had shattered his heart beneath her high heeled shoes was wanted for murder. She was on the run, and he was just the man to hunt her down and toss her into the nearest cell…War could hardly wait. He was the last man she expected to need. The breakup had been ugly. Painful. It had ripped out her heart and left her in a sad, crying heap as she ate her ice cream, but Rose had moved the hell on, and she had sworn to never, ever need War again. Except, well, now she did need him and his sneaky skills because Rose was in trouble up to her eyes. The kind of trouble that could wreck a woman’s life. He’ll make her pay. Rose has cracked the story of a lifetime. She’s uncovered a brutal serial killer who has been hiding in the shadows—only now, she is his next target. The cops think she’s involved in the string of murders because maybe her DNA had been at a crime scene and maybe she’d been spotted by witnesses at another location, but Rose is a reporter—she’d been at the scenes because she was tracking down the real killer. Now, though, because War has caught her, Rose is out of time and options. War is former special ops. He’s the best PI in town. And he’s the man who gave her more pleasure than should be legal…Too bad that he’s also the man who hates her the most. Forty-eight hours…then jail. They make a grudging deal—she’ll pay him anything he wants if he just gives her forty-eight hours before he turns her over to the cops. During that forty-eight hours, he will help her track the real killer. When the clock runs down, she’ll be out of his life for good. Except…a whole lot can change for two people in forty-eight hours. Hate can turn into desire. Need can rage out of control. And a love that you thought was long dead? It just might flash to life again. Provided, of course, that the murderer hunting Rose doesn’t manage to kill her before she and War can catch him. Forty-eight hours. The countdown starts now… Author’s note: The “Trouble For Hire” romance series features hot, former military heroes…and these guys truly are the best kind of trouble. All of the books are stand-alones with guaranteed happy endings. Danger, romance, action, suspense, humor…oh, it’s definitely time to find some trouble…
