An omega betrayed by his pack...and the lone wolf who must risk everything to save him. Henry Wright was supposed to be dead. Since the night his alpha dumped him in the dangerous ruins of Old Detroit, life has been an unending nightmare for the packless omega. Left to scavenge for food and evade the savage creatures infesting the city, Henry's become good at surviving—until his luck fails and leaves him trapped on a rooftop with monsters closing in. Then out of nowhere, help arrives in the form of a tall, swaggering stranger with rugged good looks and a sexy glint in his eyes. Their night of passion, intensified by their brush with death, leaves Henry breathless. But that isn't the only thing he's left with. Thanks to the genetic mutation shared by omegas, Henry is pregnant. And with all that's going down in the city, Tom might not be there to save him again. Especially when Henry's former alpha learns Henry is still alive. Tom Reinhart doesn't mess around. Wealthy clients pay the lone wolf to sneak into the ruins of Old Detroit, retrieve what they want—diamonds, cash, heirlooms—and get out alive. But his latest run goes belly up when he saves the life of an omega wolf with haunting amber eyes that grab him by the balls and won't let go. As former airborne military, Tom's used to danger. He knows better than to let a pair of pretty eyes distract him. But the little omega dredges up Tom's protective instincts and the need to care for a mate. Sadly, the only things the lone wolf can't give are the things the omega wants most—the security of a pack and a family of his own. Tom will never again submit to an autocratic alpha. But the pack who wants Henry silenced is too strong to handle alone. To save his precious golden-eyed mate and their unborn son, Tom must swallow his pride and seek the help of another alpha—Jake Kross of the St. Clair Pack. The epitome of everything Tom hated about his previous life… Reader note: contains M/M Mpreg romance, omegas, wolf shifters, hot romance elements, and male male love

“The more you transform your life from the material to the spiritual domain, the less you become afraid of death.” Leo Tolstoy spoke these words, and they became Henry Stuart’s raison d’etre. The Poet of Tolstoy Park is the unforgettable novel based on the true story of Henry Stuart’s life, which was reclaimed from his doctor’s belief that he would not live another year. Henry responds to the news by slogging home barefoot in the rain. It’s 1925. The place: Canyon County, Idaho. Henry is sixty-seven, a retired professor and a widower who has been told a warmer climate would make the end more tolerable. San Diego would be a good choice. Instead, Henry chose Fairhope, Alabama, a town with utopian ideals and a haven for strong-minded individualists. Upton Sinclair, Sherwood Anderson, and Clarence Darrow were among its inhabitants. Henry bought his own ten acres of piney woods outside Fairhope. Before dying, underscored by the writings of his beloved Tolstoy, Henry could begin to “perfect the soul awarded him” and rest in the faith that he, and all people, would succeed, “even if it took eons.” Human existence, Henry believed, continues in a perfect circle unmarred by flaws of personality, irrespective of blood and possessions and rank, and separate from organized religion. In Alabama, until his final breath, he would chase these high ideas. But first, Henry had to answer up for leaving Idaho. Henry’s dearest friend and intellectual sparring partner, Pastor Will Webb, and Henry’s two adult sons, Thomas and Harvey, were baffled and angry that he would abandon them and move to the Deep South, living in a barn there while he built a round house of handmade concrete blocks. His new neighbors were perplexed by his eccentric behavior as well. On the coldest day of winter he was barefoot, a philosopher and poet with ideas and words to share with anyone who would listen. And, mysteriously, his “last few months” became years. He had gone looking for a place to learn lessons in dying, and, studiously advanced to claim a vigorous new life. The Poet of Tolstoy Park is a moving and irresistible story, a guidebook of the mind and spirit that lays hold of the heart. Henry Stuart points the way through life’s puzzles for all of us, becoming in this timeless tale a character of such dimension that he seems more alive now than ever.
