Three days before the grand opening of Chicago’s most luxurious paranormal grocery store, omega founder Julian Vale gets the worst possible news: someone inside Aurelia Market is sabotaging his launch—and his investors have assigned an outside alpha to “manage the risk.”
Julian built Aurelia from vision, obsession, and pure spite. He does not need a babysitter, especially not one as calm, broad-shouldered, and maddeningly observant as security specialist Rafe Mercer. But as opening week spirals from missing inventory and glitched alarms into targeted scent attacks, private-suite tampering, and a smear campaign designed to paint Julian as an unstable omega unfit to lead, resisting Rafe gets harder than surviving him.
Because Rafe doesn’t treat Julian like he’s fragile. He treats him like he’s valuable.
Forced into late nights, close calls, a freezer-vault trap, and one dangerously intimate heat emergency, Julian and Rafe find themselves tangled in a chemistry too sharp to ignore. Rafe is protective without being possessive, steady without being controlling, and far too good at asking the exact questions Julian never wanted to answer. But Julian has spent his whole life fighting to be respected before he’s desired, and trusting an alpha with both his business and his body may be the one risk he can’t afford.
Set against a glossy, candlelit world of enchanted produce, luxury comfort foods, moonberry syrup, designer scent diffusers, and cozy heat-care suites, Alpha on Aisle Five is a high-heat MM omegaverse romance packed with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, caretaker intimacy, workplace glamour, sabotage, and a green-flag alpha who falls first and falls hard.
When a rival supernatural chain tries to destroy Julian in the most public, humiliating way possible, he and Rafe will have to decide whether love makes power dangerous—or finally makes it safe.
If you love sharp banter, possessive devotion with respect, deliciously sexy tension, and a hard-won happily ever after, step into Aurelia Market and claim your copy of Alpha on Aisle Five today.
