Becks" Beckett

Settling down and starting a family with a mate was never something I longed for. Instead, I traveled the world working my government job, living for the next adventure. When that time came to an end, I was left adrift. Hooking up with a beautiful omega I met on a kink app was just what I needed to get out of the funk I was in. No names, no expectations. Just some no strings fun and then we’d both go our separate ways.

I never expected my hook-up to turn out to be my fated mate. Instead of accepting fate, I ignored it and hightailed it out of there. I had no intention of being tied down. Until the day I came face to face with my very pregnant fated mate, who was not at all happy to see me.

Sweet Alps was going to be my new beginning. No more stuffy academia, no more boring projects. Finally, I would be able to do what I enjoyed most, working with children. Buying the Little Cubs Daycare would be the beginning of my new life and freedom.

Imagine my surprise when I got pulled over and the sheriff turned out to be my sexy, nameless app hookup from months before. He wasn’t supposed to be here in my new town. He definitely wasn’t supposed to be delivering my baby on the side of the road, spouting nonsense about us being fated mates.

My anger at seeing him again only cemented my belief that mates were a myth. I might have been naïve enough to not realize what that electric shock between us had meant, but he sure as hell had. Without a word, he left me with nothing but the memories of our night together and a surprise baby as a bonus.

His Innocent Omega is book 6 of the Sweet Alps Mates series but can be read as a standalone. Characters from other books make appearances, so some readers find it more enjoyable to have read the previous books. It features rejected mates, an alpha whose whole world is turned upside down and is a bit clueless, and an omega who isn’t buying what he’s selling. Knotting, found family, new friendships, an adorable baby, and some light D/s when their clothes come off, and they stop sniping at one another long enough to realize they might be exactly what the other needs.

TW: This book touches on the following topics: stresses that come with giving birth and becoming new parents, self-doubt, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy. As well as being rejected (briefly) by a mate. If any of these things may trigger you, this book might not be for you.
