Out End January
An overbearing, but dutiful and loving alpha. A pregnant omega. A shared forewarning.
Frederick, Duke of Longmead, and his mate, Lord Nathaniel ‘Nate’ Elgin, flee into the ancient woods near the Longmead estate along with extended family and trusted servants.
King Edmund, a weak but benevolent ruler, is the duke’s childhood friend, but his venomous sister, Princess Matilda, has threatened to remove and raise Nate and Frederick’s unborn child.
The alpha and omega’s only refuge is the forest where their ancestors roamed centuries before. But the sanctuary becomes a prison with no way forward or back, and Frederick must use the secrets handed down through generations to lead them to safety.
But can he?
As the duke and Nate struggle with both their physical safety and emotional intimacy, Frederick’s brother, Cuddy, and his brother-in-law, Viscount Henry Ainsworth, are missing.
Does Matilda have a spy in their midst? And what lurks at the edge of the meadow, and is it the past or the present?
This is a 20,000-word non-shifter, mpreg novella, and it is the second of three books in the Longmead Woods Series.
Frederick, the Duke of Longmead, is an alpha driven by duty to his family and loyalty to his community.
Lord Nathaniel ‘Nate’ Elgin, an omega, has been disowned by his brother and lives on commissions from his paintings, though he’s a card sharp and is skilled at fleecing a few farthings from unsuspecting innocents.
Hovering in the background is King Edmund who accepts the alphas and omegas, but his sister, Princess Matilda, is openly hostile to them.
Neither Frederick nor Nate has found a mate, as they have always lived on the fringes of society whether by choice or circumstance.
Until one night at a salon.
Surrounded by alphas.
Nate’s body reacts to Frederick’s presence.
After rescuing the omega, the two endure a terrifying ride through the woods. But after their escape, instinct takes over in the middle of the forest.
Horror is followed by euphoria, shock comes on the heels of ecstasy, but finally squabbles lead to contentment. Until the princess makes Frederick a proposal. One that horrifies and sickens him and threatens his and Nate’s newfound happiness.
They have two choices – stay or flee.
This is a 20,000-word non-shifter, mpreg novella, and it is the first of three books in the Longmead Woods Series.
I’ll be publishing my first MM Mpreg Non Shifter novella later this week. So check back in a few days, and I’ll upload the cover.
