A Knotty Deal

The Claiming of Cadence

2023

When my brother’s life depends on me paying his debts, I find a way to make it happen. Even if it means selling the only thing of value I have left. Myself. Alphas are willing to pay a lot to have a night with an omega, especially one that’s untouched. They aren’t concerned with how willing you are because one way or another, you’re going to submit. I’m going to do this, for my brother’s sake. I’m going to sell myself to the highest bidder. I am not going to admit to the secret thrill running through my veins, and I’m definitely not going to read more in Leo’s actions than an alpha’s typical lust and possessiveness. I’m going to make it through the night, pay off my brother’s debt, and then I am going to forget this ever happened. If Leo lets me. Will I survive such A Knotty Deal ? \The cover will be revealed before release. This is the first story in The Claiming of Cadence trilogy. It has a mafia theme, using the auction trope, and ends with a HFN and a slight cliffhanger. This is a contemporary non-shifter omegaverse.\

A Knotty Bargain

The Claiming of Cadence

2023

I may have gotten my brother out of trouble with the Galleons, but our situation hadn’t changed. We were still drowning in debt that kept piling up faster than I could pay. My plan to forget the night with Leo doesn’t work since he won’t leave me alone . He says he has another proposition for me, but can I risk accepting and losing more of myself than I already have? I still haven’t gotten over the night he owned me. What starts as a one-time arrangement quickly spirals into something more, and I find myself caught in a web of my own making. Leo won’t let me keep my heart locked away, and I fear it’s too late to turn back. Denying him seems worse than admitting I want him too. I have to remember to protect myself from what I fear are lies as I fight to come to terms with such A Knotty Bargain, and I can only hope Leo grows tired of me before my heat comes and leaves me vulnerable. \\\*This is the second book in the series Propositions of an The Claiming of Cadence. It is a non-shifter omegaverse romance. It must be read after A Knotty Deal and ends on a cliffhanger. The story finishes in A Knotty Bond.

Wife and mother of four, my days have been reduced to begging for the littlest to sleep so I can have time to write my books. I'm blaming my reduced schedule on Cupcake. Facebook is the best place to find me, or you can sign up for my newsletter here (https://leannryans.com) to keep up with current and upcoming projects as well as special promotions and such. I grew up on Sci-fi and Fantasy books with some of my favorite authors being Anne McCaffery and Mercedes Lackey. In 2013 I discovered paranormal romance and delved into a whole new world. After reading Omegaverse stories from Addison Cain and Nora Ash, I had the idea for The Omega Prize and decided to take a shot at writing a book of my own. The beginning was rough, it took two months to write the first five chapters, but as my 2019 New Year’s resolution I said I was going to finish the story and committed to writing every day. It didn't take long for the book to begin telling itself, and from there I just kept going. Most of my books are Omegaverse, but they span other genres like Sci-Fi, dystopian, and historical barbarians. There is even a small-town Enemies to Lovers Romance story in there. They main contain dark elements but I wouldn't call them dark romance since my alphas tend to be a little mushy in the center. I promise there's always a HEA.
