Overview

Fire Captain and Taekwondo Master Julian Strause has spent a decade haunted by a single betrayal. When his college roommate and sparring partner, Ryan, vanished in the middle of the night right before the national circuit, Julian was left with a broken heart and a bitter grudge. He spent ten years convinced Ryan was a coward who lied to him. But when Julian takes over as the new instructor at a local dojang, he finds himself staring at a ghost in the parent section.

Ryan Miller gave up his degree, his training, and his entire future for one reason: he was in love with Julian. A rare, late presentation as an omega forced him to walk away, trapping him in a loveless marriage so Julian could achieve his dreams. Now a divorced single dad holding his life together with duct tape and caffeine, the last thing Ryan needs is the alpha he never stopped loving marching back into his life—especially when Julian is determined to punish him for a lie he never told.

Pushed to his absolute limit, Ryan finally steps back onto the mats to face the furious alpha. But when the devastating truth of Ryan’s decade-long sacrifice is finally screamed across the ring, it shatters Julian's entire world.

When the sheer adrenaline of the fight triggers a brutal, unmedicated flash-heat, Julian will have to prove he isn't just a challenger. He’ll have to prove he can be the unshakeable, safe harbor Ryan’s body—and heart—have been desperately waiting for.

The Alpha’s Match is an emotional, high-stakes second-chance omegaverse romance featuring a fiercely devoted firefighter alpha, a resilient single-dad omega, thrilling martial arts tension, and a deeply earned happily ever after.
