Vali has never desired a man, until today. But her curiosity may get her killed. When the madam of The Rutting Sow sends innocent Vali on a dangerous errand, she begs an old friend for help. To repay the favor, Vali ends up cleaning chamber pots for an upscale cathouse, The Frisky Kitten. She should go straight home, but it’s specials night at the Kitten, and every keyhole opens a world of new, naughty ideas.

They’re going to need a bigger dungeon. When you’re the last Omega in the world, forced to mate with a cruel, kitten-stealing king… well, it’s a good thing his four sexy generals know how to storm a girl’s castle. But can they convince her to fall in love, without falling for her themselves? Born long after the plagues that killed every Omega on the continent, Vali is the lost Omega prophesied to save her country. All she must do is mate King Rigol… but he can’t stand her. He thinks Vali is a dirty, foul-smelling brothel maid, and falls for her treacherous mistress instead. When the king realizes Vali is the true Omega, she still can’t love him, even if she doesn’t hate him quite as much. Sure, he gave her kitten back, but he’s already mated… to the enemy. Can his irresistible generals convince her to fall in love—or at least in bed—with King Rigol? Perhaps, if they all torture her together. Sweet, sexy torture.
