Omega Avery has had his heart broken, and while he’s been healing and gotten on with his life, something’s missing. When his combined passion for jogging and good coffee leads him to an older alpha, he’s attracted to the guy. Only one problem. The alpha apparently has a partner. A life partner. Or does he? Alpha Todd exercises every day either at home or at the gym. After meeting Avery in the park, he jogs there hoping to bump into him. But in trying to impress the omega with his fitness level, he ends up doing the exact opposite. Both alpha and omega have experienced grief, and Avery in particular is not ready to rush into another relationship. But gradually, through texting and sharing meals, they can no longer ignore their mutual attraction. And just like Avery tending his garden and having it bloom after a long winter, love blossoms and brings with it a new family member.
