Brad followed his gaze, breathing in the crisp air, listening to the twittering of the birds. If he thought hard enough, he could imagine her smile, imagine her pulling Ian into a hug. She’d tickle Xavier and tell Ian, Welcome to the family.
“Yeah, maybe she was here,” Brad said, his throat growing tight. “I hope she was.”
Ian pressed his cheek against Brad’s shoulder, giving Xavier his finger to grasp. Xavier gnawed on Ian’s finger. “I hope I meet her expectations as her son-in-law.”
“You have,” Brad said, his heart full. “You’re everything I could possibly ask for. She’d tell you the same, you know. Welcome to the family.”
Ian looked up, his mouth falling open. So Brad caught his chin, kissing him again.
Yeah, he missed his mom. He wished she’d gotten to witness this, wished she’d gotten to meet the omega he’d taken as his own. He wanted Ian to know that there were more people who would love him, too.
But with his mom’s passing, Brad had also learned to treasure life, to savor every moment of Ian by his side.
It didn’t matter who they were, or how old Ian was—Brad had his husband, and the beautiful children they’d made together. After today, they’d go home, and Gwen would enroll in her next school semester. Brad would change Xavier’s diaper, and Ian would feed him and rock him to sleep.
They were his favorite people in the world. With the rings on their hands a promise for the future, Brad held his family close, marking Ian, Gwen, and Xavier with his scent.
He would protect them, and they would be there for him. That, he was certain of.

Author’s Notes
Thank you so much for reading Omega Teacher’s Secret! This book has been very personal for me, and I hold a really soft spot for Ian and Brad. :) I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did!
Are you curious about Harris’s story? What about Dale’s?
I’ve included a link on the next page to Omega Teacher’s Baby, which is Dale’s book, and Two Alphas, One Omega, which is Harris’ book!
Both books feature age-difference relationships, which I think you’ll also enjoy. :)
Omega Teacher’s Baby
Divorced and shamed for his infertility, Professor Dale Kinney has spent the past ten years proving his worth: by building a solid research lab in his field. With his tenure two years away, everything's finally going right... except he also has a secret.
Dale has a crush on his student—Greg Hastings. Sweet, straight-A alpha, and also the college president's son. Greg has been asking Dale out for coffee since semester began. And it's been taking all of Dale's self-control to turn him down.
Four years ago, Greg lost his best friend in a fire. At eighteen, he'd had ambitious plans: build a home, drive fast cars, live his life. At twenty-two, he's lost his courage to believe. How can he be there for an omega when he couldn't save his best friend? How can he promise anyone a future? The only things keeping him afloat—college basketball, and the cute, awkward professor in his classes, who sneaks glances at Greg when he thinks Greg isn't looking.
When Greg stumbles on Professor Kinney in heat, the spark between them explodes into an inferno. And despite countless failed attempts at pregnancy... Dale conceives. Dale refuses to abort the child. Greg refuses to abandon this omega. With the pregnancy an increasingly difficult secret to keep, will their slow-burning love cauterize their wounds, or burn them down?
Omega Teacher's Baby is a steamy 100,000-word May/Dec Teacher/Student romance, with paper cranes, rabbit onsies and a young alpha who wants to stay by his omega no matter what. There is no cheating, no cliffhangers, but definitely a happily ever after.

Two Alphas, One Omega
A lonely omega. An ageing alpha. Valen's an alpha, too, and he wants them both.
Sam Brentwood had everything... and he's lost it all. At eighteen, he left the love of his life. At nineteen, he miscarried Valen's baby. These days, Sam's hidden his heart away, working multiple jobs to afford a house.
Valen Tolstoy has a secret—two, actually. One: he's never stopped missing his omega. Two: he's dating the station's second-in-command. Harris is two decades older than Valen, richer and better than Valen can possibly be. Sooner or later, Harris will realize Valen's not worth hanging around, and he'll leave.
Ten years ago, Harrison Fields lost his family. Afraid of risking his heart with another omega, he's tumbled into bed with someone just as risky—his subordinate, the fire chief's son. But Valen is young, rough, and they don't always get along. So Harris hires a private instructor, hoping to tighten their relationship.
To Valen's shock, the chef Harris hires... is the omega who left him, the only omega he's ever loved. Worse, Sam's in heat, and it flings Valen into a rut.
When the embers from their steamy night cool, Sam discovers that he's pregnant with Valen's child. Afraid of a relationship, he tries backing away—only to find that the two alphas he met... won't let him go.
Two Alphas, One Omega is a 115,000-word standalone Alpha/Alpha/Omega non-shifter MPreg romance, with dirty jokes, a much-anticipated baby, and two alphas longing for an omega to protect.
