Farmer’s Omega
Hector has been saving money so he could afford a mate. He found him, paid the dowry, and today, he finally brings his new husband home. The boy knows what awaits him—he’ll be collared and claimed. He stands barefoot in the middle of the cottage, his eyes down, quiet and docile like a good omega groom. He seems afraid. After being celibate for years, Hector craves to touch the pretty omega and take what’s lawfully his. But he doesn’t want his new husband to fear him. Will the boy like him? Even love him one day?_
Iker’s Love
Disgraced and banished by his first mate, Iker found safe haven at the palace. He stays under the king’s protection and doesn’t ever want to depend on an alpha again. Except now that he’s pregnant, his body has its own will. It demands pleasure and warmth, and only one man’s embrace feels right.
Loving a golden-collared boy is foolish, but Elias falls anyway. How can he not love the beautiful pregnant omega who seeks comfort in his arms every night? Iker seems to need him, and Elias wants to give him the world. But as long as Iker wears the king’s collar, Elias can do nothing but hope._
Ky’s Mate
Abandoned by his family and never allowed to return home, Iain is brought to the palace. Would the king collar him tonight? Would he… take him? But the king is not here, and instead, a tall, handsome omega welcomes him. Ky is his name, and he’s different from any man Iain has met before.
The new virgin omega is stunning, and Ky hopes he might steal a kiss or even a taste of the young flesh. There’s something about Iain that unsettles him, though. The way he looks at Ky, his scent, the blush in his cheeks… Ky would never break the king’s trust and take the young man, but the temptation proves to be stronger than anything he could imagine.—The following short novellas feature side characters from the main duet: Hedonist: King’s Heat and Hedonist: King’s Mate . All three novellas stand on their own, with a HEA for every featured couple. All three explore specific kinks and fetishes.

Soon, he catches a glimpse of the home he longs for. But with their separation looming, confessing his feelings would only lead to pain and humiliation.
