    Summary

    Jude Bellingham is a royal Omega whose memory lapses make him a liability in a court obsessed with perfection. To prevent scandal, his parents arrange a sudden marriage to Prince Erling of Kuldskara—a northern Alpha scarred and storm‑scented with a silence that makes him impossible to read. Torn from the only home he knows, Jude lives in fear that one day he’ll forget his new husband entirely.

    Summary

    “You may stay here.” It’s only four words, but they rock his world. His eyes snap back up to Haaland, gratitude on the tip of his tongue.

    “I have one condition, though,” Erling says, Jude nodding his head.

    “Whatever it takes.”

    ”Be my mate. Your son will be my heir.” The floor falls from underneath Jude’s feet. It feels like he’s spiraling, like he can barely breathe.

    “Excuse me?” Jude yells, his son opening his eyes.

    Summary

    Dortmund had been late-night conversations, shared training grounds, stupid jokes, and the kind of friendship neither of them had thought they would ever have to work to keep. Then Erling left for Manchester. Jude went to Madrid. Calls became messages, messages became birthday wishes, and somewhere along the way, they became two people who still knew everything about each other and almost nothing at all.
    By the summer of 2026, they are no longer teammates.
    They are opponents.
    When England and Norway meet at the World Cup, the story is supposed to be about football: two of the best players in the world, former teammates facing each other on the biggest stage, and ninety minutes that could end one country's dream.
    Instead, something goes wrong.

    Professional-grade suppressants are not supposed to fail. Scents are not supposed to carry across a football pitch. And Jude is definitely not supposed to know, with terrifying certainty, exactly where Erling is without having to look.
    After years of distance, one match forces them back into each other's orbit—and leaves them with a question neither of them is ready to answer.

    Because sometimes the mind moves on.

    The body remembers.

    Summary

    Alpha Aaron Hotchner has been without a mate for over a year now. He has become erratic, short-tempered and difficult to work with. Erin Strauss orders him to enter a government-run mating program to find himself an Omega who can provide him companionship and temper his Alpha pheromones.

    Spencer Reid is a self-imposed celibate Omega who has given up any hope of finding a mate. He is happy with his love-life (or lack thereof), just the way it is. But a pivotal step in his career is halted because of his unmated status. He is asked by his employer to register for the mating program.

    Aaron and Spencer are matched by the government and ordered to mate. But can love flourish with a gun to one’s head?

    Summary

    Sydney groaned, her hands flying up to hide her face from him. “Ugh, I-I’m sorry. I know, I know you’re just trying to be nice, and I’m being a total ass, and—” she cut herself off to sigh deeply. “Fine. Here it goes. I just found out I’m fucking pregnant.”

    Or:

    Sydney tells Carmy some life-altering news and he just wants to be there for her. In whichever way she'll take him.
