Alpha's Christmas Heir

<p>When pregnant omega Liam Vale flees a controlling city pack in the middle of a snowstorm he's out of options and out of time. With nowhere else safe to go he heads for the one place he swore he'd never return to: Hollyridge the snow-dusted mountain town where he left his first love behind-and with him every dream of a gentle alpha and a quiet life.</p><p>Hollyridge hasn't forgotten Liam... and neither has Sheriff Caleb Hart.</p><p>Caleb has built a steady quiet life as the town's alpha sheriff-snow chains in his truck coffee at the diner and a badge he uses to protect not control. He's spent years trying not to think about the boy he once loved and the way he walked away for Liam's own good. But when he pulls over a skidding car on an icy highway and finds Liam behind the wheel wrapped in an oversized sweater and carrying a secret under his heart the past hits him like black ice.</p><p>The moment Caleb smells the truth-heat-faded bright with pup-his world tilts. Liam is terrified exhausted and running from an alpha who treats pack law like a weapon. And with a Christmas blizzard bearing down the safest place for a runaway omega about to give birth might just be the one-bedroom apartment above the sheriff's station... with one bed two ex-lovers and a second chance neither of them were ready for.</p><p>As threats from Liam's ex-pack creep closer-anonymous notes a city beta on their doorstep legal contracts wielded like chains-Caleb uses every tool he has: town statutes found-family allies and the quiet relentless steadiness Liam used to trust with his whole heart. Between shared late-night cocoa rebuilding a nest out of old quilts and the slow careful way Caleb relearns Liam's boundaries small-town safety starts to feel like something more dangerous: hope.</p><p>When the blizzard hits and the roads close labor starts early. With power flickering and a midwife on a crackling phone line miles away Liam and Caleb face the longest night of their lives together. In a nest of patchwork blankets above the sheriff's station lit by lantern glow and softened by praise and whispered promises a Christmas heir is born-and the question of who will stand on the birth certificate as Alpha of Record becomes more than a legal formality. It's a choice about pack future and the shape of their family.</p><p>Liam has already survived one alpha who turned love into a contract. This time he won't sign away his life. With Hollyridge's watchful eyes on their side and a pup in his arms he must decide if he can trust Caleb-the alpha who once left him-to be the one who stays. And Caleb who has spent years vowing never to repeat his father's mistakes has to prove that safety gentleness and everyday tenderness are more than enough to build a pack on.</p><p><strong>Alpha's Christmas Heir</strong> is a cozy high-emotion M/M Omegaverse Christmas romance featuring:</p><ul><li>A gruff green-flag small-town sheriff alpha</li><li>A runaway resilient omega with a baby on the way</li><li>Second chances found family and pack-as-choice</li><li>Legal protection instead of pack coercion</li><li>A snowstorm one shared nest and a Christmas Eve birth</li><li>Non-explicit but high-heat intimacy scent-soaked cuddles and a guaranteed HEA</li></ul><p>Perfect for readers who love small-town holiday romances protective alphas who ask before they touch and Christmas stories where home isn't a place but the people-and pup-you choose.</p>
