Synopsis
Kieran Ashford destroyed the best thing that ever happened to him the night he walked away from his fated mate. He had his reasons—good ones. His omega deserved better than a broken alpha drowning in his own darkness. So Kieran did the cruelest thing he could: he rejected their bond in front of everyone who mattered, then spent five years trying to forget the look in Damon’s eyes. Now Damon works for his company. They’ve perfected the art of pretending the bond doesn’t exist, of staying professional while their instincts scream at them to close the distance. It’s working. Mostly. Until Damon’s heat hits without warning, and there’s only one alpha he trusts to get him through it. Three days in Kieran’s apartment changes everything. Kieran finally proves he’s not the monster he feared becoming. Damon finally understands the rejection wasn’t about not wanting him—it was about wanting him too much. But five years of hurt doesn’t disappear overnight. And wanting each other doesn’t mean they know how to be together. Kieran has spent half a decade becoming someone worthy of a second chance. Damon has spent those same years learning to stand on his own. Now they have to decide if the bond they’ve been fighting is worth the risk—or if some rejections leave scars too deep to heal. UNCLAIMED is a second-chance omegaverse romance featuring fated mates, heat assistance, a protective alpha determined to do better, and a hard-won happily ever after. No mpreg, no shifting, just two men learning to trust each other again. This is Book 1 in the Knot My Alpha series. Each book features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, though characters appear across the series.
