Talia Hawthorne has been asleep for a long time—not in a fairytale castle but in the shadows of a cold city, hiding in plain sight.
Since her mother’s death, Talia has been in a daze, maintaining their nomadic lifestyle while keeping a low profile, and trying to hold herself together without the person who was always her sun and guiding star. She has no idea what to do with the life they fought so hard to protect, and she may never know what she was being protected from.
Eventually, Talia has no choice but to linger in a nondescript city, taking a room in a beta boarding house and finding work at a nightclub where they don't ask questions. She keeps her head down and ignores the ache in her chest that tells her she’s meant for more.
Her whole life has been a careful half‑existence, and Talia believes it always will be…until the night someone drugs her.
The club is shuttered as Talia lies unconscious in a glass room upstairs, surrounded by the dangerous alphas who refuse to leave her side: Julian, her powerful boss; Troy, the silent enforcer; and Langston, the too-perceptive bartender. When they call in beta doctor Briar to help, something impossible happens.
A scent match.
A revelation.
A curse finally broken.
Talia isn’t a beta. She’s an omega with a hidden past tied to a notorious crime family. Her awakening doesn’t come with a single kiss, but with the pull of bonds she can’t deny. Roses bloom. Thorns rise. And when Talia wakes, she does so into heat, uncovered secrets, and a fate that refuses to let her sleep any longer.
This time, Sleeping Beauty won’t be rescued by just one prince.
True Love’s Scent is a standalone contemporary romance. It's part of the Once Upon a Knot series, a multi-author fairy tale omegaverse series.
Genre: Romance
