Imogen Knowed Knot of Christmas Past

Evelyn's heat is about to start, and she doesn't have time for it; she's got a video game studio to run! As the world's first omega billionaire, she's not about to let an unfair biological inconvenience like pre-heat stop her from closing last-minute deals. It's Christmas Eve, and if she can just finish this day, she'll finally go home and ride out her heat in peace. So what that her alpha, Jacob, walked out, taking his knot and the rest of her pack with him. She can do it alone! Three alpha clients are scheduled to visit her office today, and despite her beta assistant Bob's best efforts to get her into her office nest, Evelyn is determined to power through. But when her beta lead designer and childhood friend, Tim, brings in the first client, she has to fight to close this deal-and close her legs! Dr. Chris Yore smells like a Christmas tree and claims he's been searching for her for twenty years. And if that weren't enough, he insists that her gingerbread, Bob's cinnamon, and Tim's spiced cranberries make them a scent-matched fated pack. Can Evelyn close out Q4 and bring the company's finances into the black? Or will she reprioritize things and form a pack? This is the first novella in the "Knot a Christmas Carol" trilogy, in which Evelyn meets the alpha from her past. It's poly, smutty, fated-mate, why choose romance, with heat, knotting, rutting, and holiday scents. It ends in a happily for now. The last novella in the series will find Evelyn with a happily ever after and a fully formed pack.
