Never Yours

*This is a plus length (100K+ words) enemies-to-lovers lesbian omegaverse fantasy romance with descriptions of heat, knotting, and mates. An upright warrior captures the captain of a smuggling operation, but their torment has just begun… As Deputy Major General of the High Nestian army, Thea Newquist has a reputation to uphold. Often lauded as King Artemis' right-hand-woman, Thea is sworn to protect the law and keep the peace on the Seventh Star. However, there have been reports of illegal foreign tech popping up in the cities and suburbs. A handheld Touch communicator is harmless. But what about a blaster? Or high-grade weapons? No. The situation is untenable. In the middle of a private mission for the King, Thea notices a sketchy, sleek submarine emerging from the depths of the ocean, charting its own path in the waters. Curiosity pushes her to track the vessel, and duty prompts her to capture the captain who's dropping off a shipment of illegal goods. Only... She doesn't expect her new prisoner to be a tattooed, fiery-haired brat that simply won't admit defeat. At every turn, the captured captain fights her tooth and nail, and Thea simply doesn't have the willpower to fight back. With every flick of wild curls and hisses from those red lips, it becomes clear that the little omega is about to go into heat. And it is up to Thea to get the captain back to the city before those pulsing pheromones sink them both.
