title: The Country Alpha: Veronica's Story
author: Peters, Penelope
description: One text is all it takes to spin a life into a different direction. After a devastating accident, alpha Jake Downing has set aside his dream of hockey stardom, and narrowed his choices down to one—life as a hermit on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, with no city, no strictures of society, and especially no omega. He just needs to take one trip into the city – and then he's free. This is how the story begins. Within hours of his arrival, however, a single text message will twist the course his life takes, spinning his life in two alternate realities – determining not only the ownership of Jake's mountain, but also the person with whom he might end up sharing it. This is how the story might go. In this reality, Jake is led back to the ice, and with it, omega Veronica Aletta. Veronica's broken bond is a matter of gossip on the omega circuit – so it's just as well she has no intention of bonding again, despite her father's persistence. But now she's about to lose everything that's precious to her, and it will take more than determination and her strange link with Jake Downing to save it. Sometimes love is just a matter of circumstance. One night in the city, one inexplicable bond formed in a moment of passion, will bind Jake to the person destined to be his mate. Only their growing faith in each other will keep them from being torn apart. The Country Alpha: Veronica is m/f non-shifter omegaverse romance. While the main pairing is m/f, it also features m/m, f/f, and mentions of off-screen mpreg.
