Logan Barnes is a beta and an omega rights worker. When his offices are attacked, his friend and coworker, Chad Brand, sends a bodyguard from his mate’s company to protect him. The bodyguard is cocky, brash and every inch the alpha, and Logan is reluctantly charmed.
Merchant knows that he’s not a good person. He’s made a career out of intimidation, blackmail and murder, and if Logan knew the truth about him he’d run screaming in the other direction. But Merchant doesn’t care. Logan is everything he never knew he wanted in a mate, and he’ll be damned if he lets the man of his dreams get away…
(This 55,000 word novel features characters from the Omega series, but can be read as a standalone. It contains adult themes, including rough sex, spanking, knotting, and bondage. The story has a HEA ending and no cliff hanger)

“Why don’t you come sit here?” Merchant asks. He unzips his coat and scoots back on the wide rock, pulling Logan to his feet and firmly, yet gently, manhandles him into position between his legs. Logan can hardly breathe as Merchant wraps his jacket around them both, putting his arms around Logan’s waist.
He can feel Merchant’s breath on the back of his ear, warm and moist, making him shudder. Merchant’s hands are holding him just beneath his waist, gloved fingertips reaching underneath the hem of his shirt and landing on bare skin.
“You like that?” Merchant asks. He sounds gruff, his chest rumbling against Logan’s back.
“Yeah,” Logan says with a hitched intake of breath. Merchant’s hands are pushed flat against his stomach now, rubbing the skin between his shirt and jeans with gentle circular motions. The fact that Merchant hasn’t taken his gloves off just seems to make it hotter.
“Do you feel how hard I am?” Merchant whispers with a slight grind of his hips. Logan closes his eyes, because yes. Yes he does feel that. He can feel Merchant’s bulge pressing into his lower back, thick and hard and uncompromising, and he’s never wanted anything more.
Not able to bring himself to speak, he nods.
“Say it?” Merchant demands. He’s using his alpha voice, the words reaching into an instinctual part of Logan that’s wired to obey.
“I feel it. I want it,” he says, letting himself go limp and boneless as he relaxes back into Merchant’s arms. The alpha makes a strangled sound, almost like a whine, and before he knows it Logan feels teeth scraping over his neck.
“Fuck,” he whispers. Teeth mean that Merchant wants to bite him, and biting is serious…
