Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Thank you to all of you who visited me last weekend! MINK OMEGA IN HIDING is an MM paranormal romance, the second book in my Shifter Towers series, and will be releasing July 29, 2019 through Decadent Publishing. Cover and pre-order links can be found below.
Set-up: In last weekend's snippet. Hansol began asking Roan where he'd been all this time. And Roan revealed he'd been in Gitown, a city ruled by gangs. I'm skipping a few lines now. While Hansol doesn't want to pressure Roan to say too much, he does have one important question. (edited from published version to fit sentence limit)
“Are you in trouble, Roan?”
He tensed, and his breathing became heavy, “I….” Pushing his plate away, he seemed about to bolt.
I shuffled closer and rested my hand on his knee, the connection a shock to the senses, but I couldn’t think about it then. With a deep breath, I cleared my mind and focused on Roan. “I want to help you; you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, but I need to be sure you mean me no harm. I know about the gangs in Gitown and hope you won’t be bringing that trouble here.”
Tears streamed down his cheeks. “I left the Tanks,” he sniffled. “They don’t know I’m here, probably don’t know I left yet.”

Mink Omega in Hiding
Shifter Towers book two
Roan is looking for a way out...
As a mink shifter omega, I never thought I’d escape the soul-crushing, gang-ruled world I lived in. But, one night on my way home from working at the strip club, the opportunity arose. I needed to find a place to hide, somewhere I could go where no one from this life would ever find me. Someplace I could start over. With my parents deceased, I only had one person from my past I could ask for help. But would he want to see me again?
Hansol has everything in his life, except his mate…
After two years of running a successful fitness center with celebrities as my personal clients and friends, one would think I had everything I’ve ever wanted. But I don’t. The one thing I still desire is to have my mate by my side. Something my sun bear keeps reminding me of every day. Sure, I’ve had plenty of omegas and other alphas in my bed, but no one I want to wake up with each morning. That person left my life years ago with no explanation and no goodbye.
Will they find their way back to each other?
Then Roan shows up on my doorstep, soaking wet, and with no belongings. Of course, I take him in. But I don’t know how long I have until he leaves again. Can I trust him this time? Can I finally claim him as my mate? Or am I holding onto false hope? Because I know there is something he is keeping from me.
Mink Omega in Hiding is a super sweet with knotty heat shifter M/M mpreg romance featuring a mink shifter escaping horrific abuse, a reconnection with an alpha friend from the past who stands between him and danger, and the discovery of what really could happen between them. It is the second book in the popular Shifter Towers series and can be read as a standalone.

Jessica, week after week your stories get better. Thanks for your delightful stories. I enjoy them every week.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charmaine!
DeleteIt's pretty disturbing that Roan can't guarantee he sin't bringing trouble.
ReplyDeleteIt is. He didn't have a very good life before escaping to Saramto.
DeleteOh somehow I bet the Tanks either do know or are about to find out...this sets up a lot of potentially very bad stuff, which of course means I'll be turning those pages like mad! Excellent excerpt...
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Veronica! Yes, so much more to happen in this story. This is still the beginning.
DeleteI'm glad Hansol asked the question because I'm worried about that too! But I bet he's up for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteHe definitely does not want to lose Roan again.
DeleteThe Tanks probably will soon discover he's missing and attempt to track him down. Trouble might be not far off on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteWell, it won't be an easy path to their HEA.
DeletePossibly one of the worst times for trouble would be when a gang member is trying to leave. I hope Hansol is ready for trouble, wherever it may come from, because I guarantee it's coming. Great snippet! Lot of foreboding. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jenna! Yes, much more to come.
DeleteI definitely want to know more after reading this scene!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy! I'll have more for you next week.
DeleteI'm worried that Hansol's concern isn't just on Roan, but seems more importantly, if he's bringing the gang trouble with him. Loads of building tension! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Hansol has his business to worry about, too.
DeleteI have a feeling he won't shake the Tanks that easily. I'm curious to know more.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. If he's bringing trouble to Hansol, I'm sure he can take care of himself and Roan. Great snippet.
