This story revolves around the life of 4 different people:

Sara: a high schooler with a conservative personality who’s good at only one thing; studying, but she studies well only to maintain her reputation as “the genius one” with no aim in life.  Till now when the SAT is just around the corner, she doesn’t know which path to take because nothing interests her.

Next comes the heartbreaker, Elijah: a college dropout, during his first year in college he changed his major 5 times and then finally left college; his father being a very laidback person wasn’t affected by his son’s antics. Now he’s 24 with a high school degree doing random jobs because he must support himself overall. His good looks get him all the girls, but he can’t stay with a girl longer than a month because after a month they start to get clingy, wanting attention whereas all he wants in a relationship is physical intimacy.

Then comes Charlotte: age 33, a doctor, she had spent all her 20s paying her student loans but is still in debt because of his father’s health condition. Because of this reason, all man who approaches her run away; no one wants a woman whose 70% pay is used to pay off her debt monthly. So, she’s called “The pitiful doctor/spinster” by her relatives.

And in the end, comes Mr. William: a schoolteacher, who had been teaching the same subject at the same school for the past 10 years. He’s a very intellectual person and could do much better with his life but one thing that he had never done is to take a risk, although his monotonous routine bores him still he keeps living the same repetitive life.

These 4 people who are living in different worlds have something in common, their lives are repetitive with no challenges_ in simple words they are ORDINARY.

These 4 Ordinary people don’t know what is waiting for them, entangled in a world of murder, crime, trafficking, mafias, politics, and everything bad; wait and see how their lives will get connected.

7th November 2024 update: I have a final cover illustration (subject to some minor adjustments due to perfectionism). I'm super looking forward to sharing it with the world, but this one needs to be done right. There need to be eyes looking. So, I'll keep writing, and eventually be in a place to market and grow my audience. Or, I'll just be ready to chuck it up on Kindle and go from there …

5th September 2024 update: Still working on it. My writing time is unpredictable around family and work commitments, but I really enjoy writing, and I love my characters, so I keep doing it. Cover is in production.

Maybe finding a true mate isn’t always love at first sight. 

*****

An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can’t pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but maybe the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they’re not true mates.

And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over.

At least there’s a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he’d find, but he’s kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so even though this one isn’t his true mate, he decides to give him a chance.

But maybe it doesn’t always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it – if you give it an opportunity to grow.

Riley Steele, a 26 year old omega, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into a special unit in the army full of alphas, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of that. With no choice but to accept the abuse, Riley's wish comes true, and he is finally allowed to join Tactical Team 07 with a promise his life will always be hell, and the people he should be most afraid of are not the domestic terrorists trying to bring back the good old ages when omegas had less rights than tablespoons. No...

It's his allies he needs to be afraid of.

But maybe this team, TT-07, is different. Maybe these alphas don't mind fighting with an omega. Maybe they don't see him as fair game, a toy to use. Maybe his new partner, a grumpy older alpha, Reid Bishop, doesn't actually hate his guts like it first seems. 

Maybe he has found his family in this team. Maybe they see him as their brother, as equal.

But it is certain there are people who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in their precious elite alpha army, and will do whatever it takes to ruin him and break his spirit.
