As Beauville’s only doctor, Hunter keeps everyone patched up, medicated, or at least scolded into drinking more water. He likes taking care of others. Coming home to an empty house after a long shift? Not so much. After years of waiting for Fate to get its act together and give him an omega, Hunter has gone from desperate to resigned. He’ll be the only bear-shifter alpha in town without a fated mate—it’s one way to become a legend. He wouldn’t mind sharing a pizza and a couch with someone sometimes, though. A friends-with-benefits arrangement with an equally lonely omega sounds practical and comforting. They’re nothing more than two souls helping each other through the long nights… unless Fate finally decides to intervene. . The blurb and release date are preliminary. The MM omegaverse romance Healing Hunter will hopefully be published in the fall of 2026.
