Defiant Surrender: MM Omegaverse Fantasy Romance
When my brother died in battle, he left me a crumbling estate and an unwanted marriage arrangement to his commanding officer. Because apparently that’s what responsible older brothers do—die heroically, then arrange your future from beyond the grave.
Captain Alec Bancroft arrives at my doorstep like every omega’s fantasy come to life—devastatingly handsome, with a voice that makes my knees threaten mutiny. The problem? I despise him on principle. He failed to bring my brother home safely, and now he thinks he can claim me as some sort of obligation? Absolutely not.
I’ve survived just fine as the village’s only male omega, thank you very much. I don’t need an alpha—especially not one whose scent makes me feel things I’d rather die than admit. And definitely not when his eyes follow me with a hunger that makes my carefully crafted defenses crumble like day-old bread.
But when my heat arrives unexpectedly and danger follows, I discover something far more terrifying than alphas who won’t take no for an answer—I think I’m falling for the very man I swore to hate.
Defiant Surrender is Book 1 in The Captain and His Healer Duet and part of the broader Duty and Desire Series. This full-length fantasy romance ends with HFN, with the couple’s story concluding in Book 2: Defiant Desire (HEA).

February 20, 2026I can’t do it anymore. 38% through and nothing has happened and I appreciate the dual pov but if you’re literally just going through the same exact scene with minimal addition then what’s the point?? Then when the two characters were finally formally introduced, I can’t even tell you how many times they’ve been airing out their pheromones like if I have to read Ellis’ honeysuckle scent again I might actually pull my hair out

Great Start to New Series
I enjoyed this book. The pets were my favorite and hope they get more scenes in the next book. I enjoyed seeing the MCs connect and I'm looking forward to how this world will expand.
