Ze_Owl's Followed Works
Unbuttoned
Twenty-eight-year-old Wren has been sheltered his whole life. He was homeschooled, and only allowed to socialize with similarly repressed omegas who at the very least, had watched porn by their age. Wren, not so much. Once he finished school and went on into adulthood, you’d think that Wren would have gone crazy trying to experience all the things he’d been denied as a teenager, right? Far from it. Though Wren had moved to a new city for his job and gained new friends who had certainly dabbled in hedonism, Wren had little inclination to join them.
Wren was content with celibacy. He was content with working nine to five, eating lunch with his coworkers, and then going home at the end of the day to binge watch tv shows and try out the new recipes he found online. His life was a boat on still waters, slowly drifting to an expected destination. Steady. Unchanging.
There’s a storm, though, hanging on the fringes of Wren’s life by the name of Vincent. He’s a complete nuisance, with his ridiculous V-neck shirts that show way too much skin, his captivatingly evil grin, and his scent like a minty forest breeze. Wren doesn’t like him at all, and he’s really annoyed that Vincent is apparently the only taxi driver available in the whole city after seven p.m.
And if the fact that the scent of Vincent’s oncoming rut triggered Wren’s heat meant anything significant, like their compatibility, Wren was going to happily ignore it. And if, right before Wren’s next heat, he stole Vincent’s scarf from the backseat of the taxi, then Wren was going to blame it all on the omega heat-brain instincts.
Except, unbeknownst to Wren, there was apparently a ‘stealing an alpha’s clothes to sex’ pipeline that he wasn’t aware of.
Before long, Wren is sucked up into the whirlpool known as Vincent, desperately trying to claw his way out before he drowns. But as it turns out, the whirlpool is just as desperate to drag him down as Wren is to escape.
The Wintering Flame
For thousands of years, wars and plagues destroyed the continent of Damocles as fae went against fae, all vying for power and dominance of the lands. It was during the last Great War that a Wytch rose up and cursed the world in hopes to stop the fighting; not a single fae would be born until the fighting ended. One fae decided to take it upon himself to search for the maker of the curse and end it; to bring peace and life to the lands he loved so much. When he found the Wytch who cursed the world, he was made to make an offer before such a feat of undoing could be done. She would bless the world with the ability to repopulate but he would forever be tied to her. He would be the first, an Omega she called him, and through his devotion, the world would once more begin to heal.
But with the rise of Alphas and Omegas, a deadly consequence was enacted. The Omega Trade. Hidden in the shadows and known only to those with power and influence, Omegas are sold like possessions to those with money, given lives of slavery. When it was announced that the Prince of the Autumn Kingdom was born an Omega, it didn't take long before the only heir was kidnapped and said to be sold into the Omega Trade. Once more, blame was thrown around, fingers pointed and a war was toeing the line of all Kingdoms.
Phoenix knew this story from the moment he had opened his eyes. Living in the Spring Kingdom his entire life, all the slaves knew the consequences of their gender. He had been born into slavery to a male Omega he hardly remembered. It's his eyes, however, that has people whispering, that has trained him to keep his head down to keep from anyone seeing. It's easy pretending to not exist within the Spring Court, but when an emissary from the Winter Court arrives one afternoon, Phoenix cannot understand the pull to look up at the white haired male. Little did Phoenix know, this was the beginning of the rest of his life.

This is set in the same world as my novel "Salvage", but they are completely independent stories. You don't have to read one to read the other. (This one is back in medieval times, about 400 years prior to Salvage.)
Just like in Salvage, here you can expect some humor and some angst (and some occasional smut) and a bunch of hot messes just doing their best. Despite the seemingly salacious premise, this is a love story at its heart, as well as a story of friendship and found family.

~~~*~~~
All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.
Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.
Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?
She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?
Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:
Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.
Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).
Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.
Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers.

****
Patricia Doyle is obsessed with doing good. She's determined to prove to herself and the world that even the smallest good deeds make a difference, and it is her biggest motivation to become a surgeon. So when she's called to the scene of an accident to perform emergency procedure, she doesn't question it. But as soon as she hops in the ambulance, she begins to realize something is very off about the drop-dead gorgeous paramedic accompanying her. Except now it's too late.
As far as the FBI is concerned, the assassin known as Drake 'Manhunter' Sullivan is one of the deadliest hitmen to ever grace the Top Ten Wanted list. Known for his ungodly stealth, his astronomical rates, and his terrifying kill count, Drake has a reputation to uphold. But when things go wrong in a job, and a target who is needed to spill valuable information gets injured, Drake has no choice but to find a good doctor to keep him alive long enough to extract the information. Except the doctor he picks up from the hospital turns out to be the wrong one, and now he has no choice but to dispose of Patricia Doyle once the job is done.
Either that, or he can marry her. After all, the Sullivans don't touch family.
