Some bonds break you, some rebuild you, and some aren’t meant to exist at all. After ten years in hell, Audrey Walker thought she’d found the pack of her dreams. Instead, she’s branded as a stalker, accused of chasing a pack that was never even hers. Out of options, her family sends her to the Ash Recovery Center, a place for the survivors of broken bonds. Really it’s just another prison to lock her away in. As the fog clears away from her locked memories, Audrey glimpses both the wounds that haunt her and the fragile possibility of becoming whole again. The five men she's forced to live among are just as fractured, haunted, and untrusting as she is. But there’s something about them and their scents she can’t get out of her head. Then comes in their new therapist. Another scent match. One who has just as many secrets as they do and wants nothing more than to expose every ounce of corruption lingering within these walls. But healing isn’t safe here… There’s a reason her room was empty. Whispers about missing omegas and a lockdown are something they can no longer ignore. When the lights go out, no one knows who they’ll come for next. Gritty, emotional, and edged in mystery, Petals and Strings is the first book in a why-choose mfmmmm omegaverse duet where recovery is war, trust is earned, and no one gets out unscathed. This duet (Which means there will be a cliffhanger) contains mentions of past abuse, including imprisonment in a breeding ring, trauma, past SA, underground fights and bait omegas, a male omega who will never choose an alpha, broken bonds, abandonment, (assumed) child and family loss, violence, and medical mistreatment. Please read with these things in mind.
