    Summary

    “How old is she?”

    Louis smiled. “Eleven months. We’re working on crawling; tummy time is her personal hell.”

    Harry laughed quietly. “I like the way you talk about her, learning to cook for her. You can tell you like being her dad."

    “I do,” Louis said quickly. “It’s… hard. I’m shit at it, honestly, but I like it. I like her. I love her too, obviously. But I also just like talking to her; she’s smart. She makes me laugh. She's with my mom this weekend. I miss her a lot, actually; this is helping distract me." Harry was smiling, but he didn't say anything more. “Sorry, you didn’t invite me here to talk about my kid.”

    “I kind of did,” Harry shook his head. "I wanted to learn about you, talk to you. But I also invited you here because you were making eyes at me the entire class.”

    After burning a frozen pizza, newly single father Louis reluctantly signs up for a beginner’s cooking class to do better by his daughter, Juniper. He does not anticipate the instructor, hot and charming, Chef Harry Styles, or how quickly learning to cook becomes something else entirely.

    Summary

    Louis is in love with his straight best friend, and has long since made peace with the fact that he can never have him. But when Harry shows up out of the blue with a boyfriend, Louis is forced to confront the feelings that he’s safely kept just below the surface.

    Amidst the quiet devastation in watching the love of his life fall for someone else, Louis finds that things are more complicated than they seem now that Harry is out and there's a chance for a spark between them. And where there's a spark, there's fire...

    Summary

    “You know I can’t let you leave now, right? Your father wouldn’t exactly approve of us letting you wander off alone. There are dangerous things out there.”

    Louis snorted. “More dangerous than a pack of vengeful omegas arguing about who’s the prettiest? Please. I’m doing your alpha a public service by skipping this circus.”

    The alpha’s brows lifted. “Oh yeah? And why’s that?”

    “Because I’ll only insult him,” Louis said matter-of-factly, ticking it off on his fingers. “Make at least one omega cry, and deliver sarcastic commentary for two months straight. By the end of it, he’ll ship me home in a box labeled ‘return to sender.’”

    The man laughed, “I highly doubt it. Sounds like exactly what he needs. A bit of drama and chaos.”

    Louis smirked. “Then he must be leading a really boring life.”

    Or- Louis is an omega forced by his parents into a matchmaking event created to find pack alpha Harry Styles a mate.

    His plan? Be irritating enough to get sent home immediately.

    Instead, he’s somehow bantering, stirring trouble, and making the alpha grin like a man experiencing his first emotion.

    Harry keeps staring at him like fate is involved. Louis would like a refund.

    Summary

    “Harry Styles,” Louis said with a bored tone. “Aren’t you meant to be getting married today?”

    “Fuck off,” Harry retorted, finally leaning up off the hood of his car. He looked around the parking lot, which was full of cars, but free of any other people. “Can I have a ride?”

    “To your wedding?” Louis teased just to see Harry roll his eyes.

    “Away from my wedding.”

     

    It's the summer of '99 and, after helping Harry run away from his wedding, Louis has one week on a secluded Maine island to get the second chance he's always wanted.

    Summary

    “Seriously, Harry? Again?” Louis huffs, crossing his arms as the alpha ducks into his den like he owns the place. “That’s the third time this month.”

    Harry pretends to look half-embarrassed, but the faint curl of his mouth gives him away. Louis sighs, already reaching for his supplies. He’d be concerned if he didn’t know how fast wolves healed or how much Harry seemed to enjoy testing that fact. At this point, Louis is starting to think the alpha’s wounds aren’t accidents at all.

    Or: Louis is the pack’s healer bound by duty, with no time for romance. Harry is the pack’s alpha who seems determined to change that by any means necessary.
