An omnibus of novels by Trisha Linde
Behind closed doors at The Scarlet Hotel, anything can happen...
Room 908
Omega Jasper never intended to be a teenage dad. He had big plans to become a surgeon. But then, he foolishly fell for the school’s star quarterback. And he would’ve told him about the baby if the alpha hadn’t turned out to be such a no-good, selfish, back-stabbing… jock! Grr! So even though Jasper hadn’t planned for his son, he worked hard to be the best damn father ever. And everything is great until he runs into the alpha at their ten-year high school reunion.
Alpha Eric has been looking forward to this reunion for the past ten years. Every game he’s played over the past decade, he’s wondered if—hoped—that Jasper was watching. He was the tutor who helped Eric graduate, but he’s always been more than that. He’s the one who got away. Except, as it turns out, it wasn’t just the omega who got away, but his son. Is it too late to fix past mistakes? Or will it take another ten years to earn Jasper’s forgiveness?
VIP
Omega Arlo would do anything for his gran who raised him. He’s indebted to her, so when the bills for her new nursing home start to pile up, it only makes sense for Arlo to find a better-paying job. And if that job just happens to be waiting tables at a strip club, then so be it. His boss is nice, he loves his coworkers, and the tips are great. The clientele, however, are unexpected…
To alpha Max Shepherd, appearances are everything. Thanks to being typecast as a clean-cut heartthrob, his career as an actor can only be successful as long as his fans see him as the “good guy.” Except deep down, he prefers to be bad. When the paparazzi finds Max in a compromising position with a server from a strip club, he does the only thing he can think of—he lies. Soon, though, the role of fiancé might be more than an act.
Staff Only
Alpha Emerson Holland has been running his father’s hotel for years. It’s his life, his entire world, and he won’t do anything to jeopardize it. He will eat nothing but jam sandwiches for weeks on end if it means being able to pay his staff when times are tight, and he will work every shift for free if he has to. He will even deny himself what he truly wants most, because being in love with an employee is strictly forbidden. When his father tells him that he must sacrifice just a little more, it’s not even a question. Of course he will—even if it means losing himself.
Omega Roland has been in love with his boss for as long as he can remember. He dreams about him every night, fantasizes about him every day, but that’s all it will ever be—a fantasy. The few times he’s gotten the courage to hint that they could be something more, Monsieur Holland has made it perfectly clear that things must remain professional between them. And so far, Roland has listened. Except things have been getting weird around the hotel lately. Clandestine meetings, whispered rumors, and it’s obvious that Emerson is falling apart. Roland is certain he can make his boss feel better—but only if he agrees to break a few rules.
Genre: Gay Romance
