Tiger By The Tail by Rhea Fox

When her new client sidles all four hundred and fifty pounds of his striped glory into her office, Kat realises she might have been wrong in the past, dogs are great but there is a cat person she wants to find buried in herself.

Kat McGowan is a no-nonsense software architect with tattoos, a to-do list longer than her arm, and a spare bedroom she’s been meaning to rent out for months. Enter Roy Sinclair—massive, striped, and entirely too attractive for her peace of mind.

Roy may be the client, but he’s also in need of something more than just a new online shop. When Kat offers him a place to stay, what begins as a cautious friendship turns into shared coffee, road trips, and undeniable heat.

But behind Roy’s easy smile is a past he’s never talked about—one that’s left deep scars and a life built on survival. As he heals in Kat’s quiet, no-pressure orbit, he wonders: can he let go of the toxic relationship and choose something real?

Kat doesn’t do messy. But something about Roy—his kindness, his vulnerability, the way he looks at her like she’s his whole world—makes her want to risk it all.

Tiger by the Tail is a cozy, steamy monster romance featuring:

A cinnamon roll tiger hybrid MMC
A badass STEM heroine with no time for BS
Forced proximity and roommates-to-lovers tension
Bonding over food, coffee, and healing
High heat open-door scenes with emotional intimacy
A romantic road trip (and a very soft passenger princess moment)

Omega Defiant by Dessa Lux

An omega who wants nothing to do with alphas...
An alpha who wants to save omegas, but never meant to fall for one...
And a thousand-mile roadtrip that will change their lives... if they don't kill each other first.

Omega werewolf Casey Niemi has grown up in the safety of his adopted pack. He can't remember what took him from his original family--and he doesn't want to, even if it might explain why getting too close to an alpha makes him panic. He's moving on with his life and totally has it under control--until a new alpha shows up and throws Casey's world completely off kilter.

Alpha werewolf Adam Vinick wants to improve the lives of omegas through the power of rigorous scientific research. After the death of his omega dad, he left his father's pack and has never looked back. But he's been having a hard time finding omegas for his study, and his life's work may be cancelled if he can't show results soon. When he turns to the Niemis for help, he's not expecting an omega like Casey.

Adam and Casey have instant chemistry--the kind that explodes on contact. When the Niemis send Casey to assist Adam on his research trip, enemies become reluctant allies and it doesn't take long for them to argue their way into each other's beds.

But can their long road lead them to each other's hearts?

C.W.: Childhood trauma (including but not limited to death of parent(s) by violence and suicide), enforced gender roles on omegas, werewolf separatist cult, brief graphic violence, male omega pregnancy (early and last stages)
