When hot alpha cop Sean rescues an omega from being assaulted, he has no idea what fate has in store for him…not one mate, but two.

And that’s not even the strangest thing happening on the ranch that offers them a safe place. The air simmers there, wild and powerful. But what is that power they all feel?
After riding out Gia’s heat together, they find out what secrets the ranch holds, and they have to make a choice. How much stock do they put in fate? And is their short but explosive encounter enough to last or will their connection fizzle out?

REVIEW:
A quick-read novella to keep us up-to-date on Lidon’s Pack and the PTP Ranch.
Sean Lilienfield, Lidon Hayes’s former partner on the police force, is now working narcotics with a new senior officer. During a boring stakeout, Sean sees something suspicious, a taxi cab in a part of town people just didn’t frequent unless they were up to no good. Going against his partners orders, Sean goes to check it out. What he came upon was more than he could believe. The cab driver, a beta, and an Alpha were arguing over who got to rape the poor omega that they had trapped and stripped first. After an altercation, that left one of the attackers shot, Sean grabs the omega and takes off with him in the cab he took. The poor omega, Gia, is so scared. It is obvious that he has the mutative Melloni gene and is close to heat. Sean can smell him but, for some unknown reason, he’s able to resist him even if he is hard as nails from his scent. He knows he is in trouble with the force for breaking the order but he is driven to take care of the sweet omega. Felix Roland is a lawyer who happens to be a beta, which leaves him in the dead end job with the Police Union. When they get a call from Evan Parks, head of IA, about Sean Lilienfield, Lidon Hayes’s former partner that refused to testify against him, Felix immediately takes interest. As Parks lays out the charges he knows something’s fishy and needs to get to the bottom of it. Sean, Felix and Gia wind up on Lidon’s ranch to protect the scared omega that’s about to start his first heat. Both Sean and Felix can smell Gia’s irresistible scent but are baffled why they can still resist him. Turns out fated mates have the desire for their mate but can control themselves just as alpha-claimed can’t smell the gene anymore. When both men agree to help Gia through his heat he is relieved. But what will happen to them all after his heat?
It was great to catch up and see all of my favorites back on the ranch. And I had wondered about Lidon’s rookie partner after all that went down with the force. It is obvious that he is regretful for not taking a stand but is also understandable given his family connections. I was pleased to see Lidon open his ranch to all three men. But what was more pleasing was that the pack accepted these three men and saw their worth and strengths without regard to their “status” in life. That’s what I love most about this series…it’s all about love and acceptance no matter who or what you are. This author is all about that in her books and it warms my heart every time I read one of her books. She’s definitely not afraid of any society’s issues and let’s her men experience life as they are intended to.
Obviously I loved this book and thought that Sean, Felix and Gia will be a welcome addition to the Pack. They are hot as can be and together they are combustible! I can’t wait for more of this amazing series. And Yes…I under how crazy that sounds from me, a self-professed anti paranormal, shifter or fantasy reader, but I just can’t sit these down!
