We Are Not Strangers
His head rests against his breast, over his heart, but they aren’t lovers, they aren’t mates, and he’s a sinner.
Matthew Wilcox is an embittered redcoat with years of service under his belt and more than his fair share of secrets. Cold and detached, Matthew would be a perfect soldier if not for the fact that he’s an omega and therefore shouldn’t be in the army at all.
When tensions erupt into war at Lexington and Concord, alpha Josiah Cairn hopes that maybe, just maybe, he may yet prove himself to the pious father who hates him. When he stumbles across Matthew’s wounded body, he takes Matthew prisoner.
But then Matthew goes into heat and Josiah’s father decides to hand him over to the magistrate to face abuse. With few options, Josiah and Matthew run away together: Josiah to the militia and Matthew back to his regiment.
Or that’s the plan. When every other house could be an enemy, when both are deeply committed to opposing worldviews and sides, and with one in heat, they will find their loyalties tested – to friends and family, to the armies they’re sworn to, and to each other.
