Two childhood best friends. One week-long summer job. And the sudden heat that makes them realize friendship has never been enough.
Caleb
This summer was meant to be one final, post-college blowout before real life begins. But when my landlord jacks up my rent, my golden-retriever best friend Beau drags me to a seasonal gig at a sweltering sunflower farm so I can make enough money to keep a roof over my head.
Now I''m roasting alive, dealing with entitled tourists, and trying to ignore the fact that all the sunshine and physical labor is apparently making Beau even bigger, broader, and more devastatingly attractive than he already was. I’ve spent half my life building an ironclad wall around our friendship and shoving these feeling deep down where they belong. But when an unexpected heat hits me out of nowhere, my defenses completely crumble.
Suddenly, I’m trapped in a tiny, cramped cabin with the one alpha I can’t have. Beau steps in to hide me from the rest of the farm, wrapping me in his scent and his clothes. He's just trying to be a good friend, but his protective bubble makes my inner omega want to beg for things a best friend should never ask for.
Beau
I know I have a reputation for being an easygoing, helpful alpha—I like football, lifting heavy things, and making sure Caleb is taken care of. Working a manual labor job in the blistering sun wasn't technically my summer plan, but hey, I get to spend every single day with Caleb, so how bad can it be?
The only problem is the growl that sits at the back of my throat every time another alpha looks his way. I’ve spent years lying to myself, claiming it’s just normal, platonic "bro" behavior to want to hoard Caleb's attention and smother him in my alpha scent.
But when Caleb goes into heat halfway through the job, the lies stop working. Masking his delicious, honey-sweet scent from the rest of the world isn't a chore—it’s an obsession. Protecting him is my job, but the beast inside me doesn't want to be a gentleman anymore. It wants to claim him. Completely.
Caleb & Beauis a grumpy/sunshine, best-friends-to-lovers MM omegaverse novella featuring childhood friends, size difference, mutual pining, a golden retriever alpha and an omega with a penchant for praise, and a surprise heat that throws them into chaos. This is the fifth and final standalone installment in the Sudden Heats series, where biological emergencies lead to permanent bonds and friendships turn into forever. This series does NOT feature mpreg and is non-shifter omegaverse.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
