I’ve been hiding my Omega status for years, using heat suppressors and scent blockers to keep anyone from realizing what I really am. But when the black-market pills I bought fail one night, I find myself living my worst nightmare—perfuming in a crowded club full of Alphas.

In Offside Hearts, social media manager Margo Lucas hooks up with star center Noah Blake in an elevator—one week before her first day on the job working for his team. It’s a forbidden workplace romance with a swoony hockey captain who’s determined to prove they’re worth the risk. In Breakaway Hearts, best friends Reese Sutton and Callie Marshall strike a deal. She’ll fake date him to help him win back his ex, and in return, he’ll give her lessons in the bedroom to help her regain her confidence.

Choosing Their Omega is a stand-alone reverse harem hockey Omegaverse romance. It contains multiple points of view, lots of steam, and has a happily ever after! The characters are fully human and do not shapeshift.

I had no idea I was an Omega… Now I’m fake dating four rugged cowboy Alphas who happen to be my brother’s best friends. When I returned to my small hometown in Colorado, I knew I would run into people from my past—like my brother’s four best friends, and the subjects of my very secret teenage crushes. What I didn’t expect was that I’d start perfuming one night and realize I’m not actually a Beta. I’m an Omega, and now I’m supposed to choose a pack to bond with.

As a secret Omega living as a Beta, I’ve worked hard to build a good life and escape my past. So when I land a job as the assistant to three powerful Alpha billionaires, I focus on keeping my head down—despite the way their intoxicating scents make my head spin. Everything is going fine… until the day my blockers fail and I start perfuming. I’m terrified that my three bosses are going to turn me over to the authorities so that I can be presented as an Omega and courted by a pack. But they don’t. Instead, they make me an offer: one year of marriage.

Reese Sutton is every woman’s fantasy, with his crooked smile, warm brown eyes, and broad shoulders. But to me, he’s always just been my best friend. The man I rely on to have my back no matter what. I know he would do literally anything for me, so when he asks me for a favor, I can’t say no… even after I find out that he wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend to help him win back his ex.

Picture this: Your fiancé cheats on you the night before your wedding with someone he claimed was his cousin. Then, just months later, he's at the altar with the same "cousin".

When I try to quit my job working for three demanding CEOs, Ford Kingsley—my cheating ex’s hotter older brother—offers me a deal instead. He needs a fake fiancée to convince a potential investor that he’s settled down, and I need money to pay off my crushing debt. Two weeks of pretending to be madly in love at his family’s estate, and we’ll both get what we want. But being stuck in a mansion with Ford and his unfairly sexy business partners, Gabriel and Hayden, is more complicated than I bargained for.

When my ex breaks up with me in a very public way, all I want to do is hide from the world. But instead, I end up having the hottest night of my life with Theo Camden—a right winger for the Aces and my ex’s biggest rival. It’s only supposed to be one night, but when Theo finds out that I’ll be deported since I lost my job after the breakup, he proposes something else.

Considerate and an all-around good guy. When her toxic ex-boyfriend arrives at the same conference, Jack doesn't hesitate to jump in as her current love interest. Maybe it's the island air, or maybe it's the time they spend together preparing for the presentation they're delivering, but their fake feelings start to feel real.
