In over their heads, Vera and her pack reach out for help from people who’ve been dealing with the Suits Syndicate longer than any of them, but having so many unfamiliar people around is putting strain on the brand new pack bonds…

Vera asking Erika to help them with their tricky situation was a good plan on all fronts. She’s got much more experience with things than Vera and her pack and they need the extra hands as Mathew’s organisation simply isn’t big enough to deal with all of it.
But having Erika’s people here, on top of Luca’s family and the kids they rescued from the Hearts is putting a strain on the pack, especially on Mathew and Vera, as their pregnancy progresses.

Pregnant Omegas who are desperate for their pack members and the constant stress from all sides don’t really mix. Especially not when the stress is about the safety of themselves and the people they love.

The pack has to find a way to get closer, to connect more, or things could start getting trickier in so many more ways…


This is the eighth out of twelve novellas following Vera and her mates in the Her Vicious Pack serial, a dark contemporary reverse harem/Why Choose romance set in a sweet Omegaverse world about a criminal found family empire with dreams of ‘expanding the family’.
This novella may include any of these steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).
This serial has MF, MM, FF and group scenes.

About the author

Layla Heart

49 books40 followers
Layla Heart loves sexy romances and has a particular soft spot for broken boys and their damaged girls. When she’s not reading or writing steamy stories, she loves to nap with her two cats, preferably under a fluffy blanket, and play videogames. She has studied literature and creative writing but often finds that the couple of classes she took on coding are much more of a help in this new adventure as an author.

My Review ✨

Watching Vera and her pack continue to overcome every obstacle has been such a rewarding experience. Their growth—both as individuals and as a pack—makes Secure Touch another powerful addition to the series.

With each installment, this world only gets better and stronger. The emotional depth, the challenges they face, and the way they lean on each other make it such an empowering and heartfelt journey. This series has exceeded my expectations in every way! 💖

I really enjoy seeing a bit of struggle between a pack. I love when everything fits but when they have a period of time where they are all messing up, it makes it feel more realistic. So excited to continue the series!!

This is the eighth book in the Her Vicious Pack by Layla Heart. These are all novellas and should be read in the correct order so you'll know what's going on. Loved it. Looking forward to what's next.

The 8th novella was another great addition to Vera and her pack’s story. We saw some good pack development along with some omega concerns that had to be addressed. Look forward to the next one.

A tension filled read as Vera and her pack struggle to deal with the pheromones around them especially Mathew and Vera. A very enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next book.

As Vera has grown her pack so far throughout the series, the threat of the Suits Syndicate has forced them to make anything but themselves a priority. Secure Touch shows the mental and emotional ramifications of that and forces the pack to slow things down and focus on each other. It feels like the worst possible time for this to happen as my anxiety has me on edge waiting for some significant action from the Suits. This was a great representation of needing to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I can't wait for some direct action between the pack and the Suits - I'm ready for the drama!
