Knot on the Menu

She’s done being someone’s leftovers.

With enough heartbreak to fill a suitcase, Amber Carter is holding the pieces together the only way she knows how—by keeping her daughter close, keeping her scent locked down, and keeping all Alphas at arm’s length.
Fox Hollow wasn’t supposed to be forever.
It was just the first place that felt safe.
It’s a town that digs its roots in. A place where surviving starts to look a lot like belonging… especially after Amber takes a job at Blade & Butter. The town’s coziest restaurant—run by three very different Alphas who unsettle every defense she’s spent years learning:
Eli—the pastry chef who heals with sugar and sees past her sharp edges.
Fallon—the tattooed butcher with a sunshine grin who fiercely shields what he loves.
Knox—the head chef who plans life like a chess match and notices every shift in her heat cycle.
They made a pact years ago: never let an Omega come between them again.
She has rules of her own: no packs, no bonds, no Alphas in her life.
But instincts don’t answer to anyone—suppressants fail, heats rise, and a slow, sweet burn catches fire.
And when one reckless, world-tilting night leaves Amber facing a surprise pregnancy, everything she tried to outrun catches up with her.
Because in a town like Fox Hollow?
Rumors move faster than scent—
and the newest one says there might just be a Knot on the Menu.
