Overview

One clinical trial. Two strangers. And a heat that refuses to be suppressed.

Jared
I’m desperate. Unemployed and with no savings left, I sign up for a high-paying medical trial for a new heat suppressant. The rules are simple: stay at the clinic for a month, take the pills, and collect the cash. It sounds like an easy paycheck—until the alpha steps into my room.

Leon isn’t just a lab assistant. He’s my every fantasy come to life. And suddenly, the suppressants that were supposed to keep me cool are failing, replaced by a heat so intense it’s burning me from the inside out.

Leon
I’m here to do a job, not to obsess over the muscular, gorgeous omega behind the glass. But when a staffing shortage puts me in charge of Jared’s medication, my professional distance goes up in smoke.

One touch, and I know he’s mine.

The protocol says I should call for help. My instincts say I should lock the door and claim him. Jared is drowning in a medically-induced fire, and I’m the only alpha who can put it out.

Jared & Leon is a steamy M/M Omegaverse short story featuring a heat suppressant clinical trial, forced proximity, intense heat cycles, and an alpha who will risk his career to protect his potential mate.

Part of the Sudden Heats series of sweet and steamy omegaverse standalones, about omegas who get surprised by their heats, and the alphas who lend them a helping hand—and fall hard and fast in the process. No mpreg, non-shifter omegaverse universe and HEAs guaranteed.
