Eric took Olivier’s hand. Met his eyes. His heavy gaze burned down Ollie’s skin like his first day back in Meadowfall, and Ollie sucked in a sharp breath. Couldn’t look away from Eric at all.
The minister spoke. Eric brushed his thumb over Olivier’s hand, and he was all Ollie could think about.
“Do you, Olivier Lancaster, take this alpha to be your husband? Do you swear to remain at his side in sickness and in health?”
“I do,” Ollie croaked.
“Do you, Eric Lancaster, take this omega to be your husband? Do you swear to remain at his side through thick and thin?”
“I do,” Eric rumbled. There was so much love in his eyes, so much trust and joy and hope.
“You may exchange your rings,” the minister said.
Eric took the airplane from Cole, who smirked. A few guests chuckled. Ollie didn’t mind at all. Not when Eric unstuck the tape from the cardboard, and the gleaming rings clinked into his palm.
“You gonna go first?” Eric murmured, offering Ollie the larger ring.
“You first,” Ollie said.
Eric met his eyes, on the verge of protesting. Except he took Ollie’s hand and kissed it, then slipped the white gold ring onto his finger. It fitted perfectly this time, the engraved words a promise against Olivier’s skin.
A song from my heart to yours.
“Not gonna wait,” Eric whispered. “Gonna get you home and make you mine.”
Ollie’s heart skipped a beat. He took Eric’s ring, sliding it onto Eric’s ring finger. Eric’s hands were bigger than his own, but they felt so right when Eric hauled him forward, and kissed him hard on the lips.
“Mine,” Eric growled even before the minister could pronounce them husband and husband. “All mine.”
“Yours,” Ollie said against his lips, his heart so full it could burst. “I’ve always been.”
Eric’s eyes shone with joy; the feeling resonated deep in Olivier’s chest.
As the crowd cheered and clapped around them, and as Eric stroked his scent down Olivier’s skin, the last piece of their puzzle fitted into place, mending the beautiful tapestry of their lives that would carry them through tomorrow, to the bright days beyond.

Omega’s Stepbrother
Beaten and lied to by his previous alpha, Wyatt Fleming has been recovering from his past: by running his own restaurant, and being the best dad to his daughter, Hazel. No one knows his deepest secret: Nine years ago, he kissed his alpha stepbrother in the family's piano room.
Raph has never forgotten that kiss. Not when Wyatt had looked at him, wide-eyed and beautiful. Nine years ago, their grandmother caught him kissing Wyatt. Wyatt had fled, entangled himself in an abusive relationship. By not rescuing him, Raph had helped ruin his brother's life.
Saddled with guilt, Raph wishes he had fewer regrets: he should've stood up to Grandma, should've gotten himself out of debt, and stayed with the one omega he could never let go.
When their father throws a party, Raph finds Wyatt in heat. Their simmering embers kindle into a roaring flame; after a steamy night together, Wyatt discovers that he's pregnant. Raph refuses to fail his omega again. Wyatt refuses to abandon his innocent child. As their relationship intensifies, both men face the very real danger... of their family and pasts coming to pull them apart.
Omega's Step Brother is a 97,000-word alpha/omega nonshifter MPreg romance, with a hilariously adorable 9-year-old, some angst, lots of food, and an alpha who has loved his omega for the longest time.
Now available on the Amazon store:

Omega Teacher’s Secret
Saddled with debt and a crippling self-esteem, Professor Ian McMillan has struggled for decades with his demons. But that isn't his biggest secret—seven years ago, he spent his heat with an alpha he shouldn't have… his twenty-two year old student.
Nothing should've come out of it. Except Ian conceived, and his baby's father… is also the department head's son. Under the threat of losing his job, Ian made a choice: keep his child, and sever all contact with Brad.
With no inkling of the baby he left, Brad Saxon graduated from college and joined the Meadowfall fire department, making mistakes along the way. Lives have been lost at his hands, and the guilt he carries is suffocating. How can he protect an omega, when he's failed others before?
But Brad can't forget about the omega from years ago—Ian, with his soft smiles and yearning eyes. When Brad enrolls in a Master's course hoping to see his professor again, he finds something he doesn't expect: Ian's in heat. This time, there's a child with him… a little girl with Brad's eyes.
Omega Teacher's Secret is a steamy 103,000-word May/Dec Teacher/Student romance, with a single dad, an alpha who grows to love the daughter he never knew he had, and a love that will warm your heart. There is no cheating, no cliffhangers, but definitely a happily ever after.
