There isnʼt an existing story for Amira. Although you learn a lot of Donovanʼs back story through The Ruined Records Duet. We see them meet in the background of Lyric’s wedding, but sheʼs already been with her pack for 20+ years at this point & sheʼs just adding Donovan into the group. 🤍

That is a fake account. Iʼve reached out to X and tried to have it taken down, but alas, itʼs still up. I made an account that is actually run by me it's @JillianWestOV but Iʼm not on X much. The authorized account is also on my website, and Iʼll add it to my link tree.

No, I'm so sorry. All In, Three of a Kind, and Wild Card were published with the new style. They never had options to match the older style. When I made the choice to extend the series, I had to recover Not Ready and Ready or Not, so they could match the later books. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience!!

None in the plans at the moment 🤍 All of the Above Book Box just did special editions of A Pack for Christmas and Damaged Princess, though. 😍

The main reason is that I don't use object covers 🤍 Since the model on the cover needs to match the description of my character, I'm limited by what the stock photo sites have available/what's on the pre-made covers that the designers create. Oakley in Wicked Truths is strawberry blonde, though 🩷

Nope, it's 20% pain crossover total, but each mate with a bite is getting that full 20% through the bond. It's not diluted based on how many members there are. It's just if there's a claiming bite that member will always feel the omegas emotions/pain and vice versa, so it made sense to be that the alphas then need to experience some of the labor pains... But also not enough that they're useless or unable to care for their omega lol Since omegas and betas don't bite in my universe, only alphas do... I figure a beta with a bond would get 10% (or half what's filtering through to the alpha, but the alpha also still experiences that full 20%) sorry, I know this is late, but I hope it helps 🤍

Sorry, just to specify Wild Card? Is that the novella you're asking about? If so, yes Lennox and Thorne were both side characters in Three of a Kind 🤍

If you liked Riley and Vale, I think you'll like Brooklyn in Three of a Kind (coming August 1st) she's a pregnant single mom with a toddler and a terrible ex. 🤍

Probably not triplets 😅 The Monster's Den series has multiples, but for OV I usually stick to twins at the most. I'm not sure if I'd venture into dark romance. I've been testing the waters with the darker world in the Assurance Security Series (but the guys are still total softies for the fmc). It just comes down to what readers ask for more of.
I do plan to do more single mom & pregnancy because I have gotten a ton of requests for it. 😍

After Queen of Spades will Ranger's book, All In. After that, I'm not 100% sure. Sometimes it just comes down to which characters are yelling the loudest, but I'm nearly done with Ranger's book and you'll meet his omega in Queen of Spades. 🤍

There is 🤍 I did a novella titled Kept Safe. It's free to download with my newsletter and it wraps up their storyline.

Yes, there will be!! I needed to finish the adult timeline for The Ruined Records Series before making the time jump to the kids. I just finished Knot Guaranteed and Knot Wanted which are like Ruined Records Gen 1.5. And once I come back to that world I'll be making the time jump for the kids 🤍

Yes! It's my current WIP progress. It's title will be Knot Wanted & I'm expecting it out early 2024 (likely Jan or Feb).
Jillian West
Thank you so much!! Yes!! I definitely have plans for more books set at The Omega Exchange. No exact timeline on when those will be coming, but I'd love to do more!! If you enjoyed A Pack For Christmas my next release Knot Guaranteed is equally as sweet and fluffy. Although it doesn't take place at The Exchange, it might hit the sweet spot if you like more of a low angst plot with humor.
Jillian West
Oh goodness! I have no idea why I'm just seeing this months later, but yes!! I do have plans for a book with Cove and Ravvi. I needed to finish out the adult timeline in The Ruined Records Series before making the time jump though. Now that Wicked Truths is live I'll be working on the next generation in the near future. Sorry for the delay!!
