A Holiday Arrangement

When a strict alpha who never wanted a mate meets a young omega who wants nothing more, they soon discover that fate is inevitable.

Emerson: The only thing I disliked more than crowds was High Society social events. If I could avoid both altogether I'd be happy. But when Orion Strongfire approached me to assist him in recruiting alphas to his cause in fighting for omega rights, I knew it was inevitable. That was how I ended up attending a holiday ball surrounded by the who's who of society. If that wasn't terrible enough, there's this feisty little omega who captured my attention from the moment I saw him from across the dance floor. I don't do relationships and I certainly don't claim mates. Especially not omegas who are way too young for me and the half-brother to my boss. I tried to ignore the attraction, however, when Jett Strongfire cornered me and claimed I was his fated mate, he was nearly impossible to resist. Jett: Running away from my aunt was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was taking a major risk, but my brother and his husband have been nothing but kind and showed me a whole new world and possibilities I never even considered. But, my first heat is coming-quickly. Orion might be reluctant to approve a mate for me, but I refuse to be a burden for longer than necessary. Besides, it had always been a dream of mine to have a mate of my own. So when it was suggested to use the big holiday ball as a way to meet a potential mate, I couldn't turn down the opportunity. In my wildest dreams, I never expected someone like Emerson to be the alpha I'd want. He was significantly older than me, stiff, strict and had walls around his walls. And yet- I was drawn to him in a way that was impossible to ignore. Emerson was meant to be my alpha. Now I just need to convince him. A Holiday Arrangement is book two in the Arranging Love series. Each book features new MCs, and a HEA for the couple, but does have an overarching plot that will continue throughout the series. It is strongly recommended to read the series in order. It features a holiday ball, a secret mission, an older damaged alpha who wants no part of a relationship, and a young omega who's ready to fight for his fated mate no matter what it takes. It is an alternate reality omegaverse with adult themes and explicit content. It is not meant for those under 18. While MPreg is possible it does not occur in this book. This is a world where omegas have very little rights and are essentially owned by their alpha guardian or mate. There is also a biological kink element where alphas are biologically inclined towards dominance while omegas are inclined towards submission. Content warning: societal repression of a group of people, large age gap, dub-con spanking and sexual scenes, rough sexual encounters, binge drinking, and rejected fated mates. Please see book for more a more detailed warning.
