BLURB:

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.

Sean meets Felix, a nerdy beta lawyer, and Gia, a sassy omega, under unexpected circumstances. He’s not even looking for a boyfriend, far from it, but something sparks between them, something that’s hard to define and impossible to understand rationally.

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?

Omega’s Protector is a novella (32k words) set in the Irresistible Omegas universe that can be read as a stand alone and has a HEA. In the series timeline, this book fits in right after book five. It’s got heat, sass, a little action, and all the feels. Plus, some familiar faces for fans of the series. The characters from this book will show up in the next books in the series.

BLURB:

The truth can cost you everything.

Twenty-six-year-old Beck Medina is convinced of that. He’s been abandoned by so many people over the course of his life, including most of his adopted family. Now he’s created a new family for himself at the resort he manages on Catalina Island. But they don’t know the whole truth about him.

As much as he hates keeping secrets from the people he loves, he knows revealing the truth is a gamble. What if they all walk away from him, like so many others have before?

Then there’s gorgeous, mysterious Lee Speros. The tall, handsome Greek is harboring secrets too, and some of his are deadly. Just as Beck and Lee take the first tentative steps toward becoming a couple, Lee’s dark past finally catches up to him. The fallout threatens to destroy not only the two of them, but everyone they hold dear.

With impossible odds stacked against them, can two stubborn, fiercely independent men learn to accept help not only from each other, but from the people who care about them? And once they reveal all, will the truth set them free? Or will it cost them everything, just like Beck always feared?

This gay romance is book three in Alexa Land’s Castaways Series, but it may be read as a stand-alone. It is intended for a mature audience.
