Knot Your Barista: A Sweet Fated Mates Cozy Omegaverse Reverse Harem Romance

Puckridge Omegaverse #8

by Kara Kaminski

I moved here to survive by serving coffee and lattes. Head down.
Then the same four hockey players start showing up every morning… and the fifteen minutes they spend at my counter becomes the best part of my day.

I’m Petra. I work the morning shift at the cafe—5 AM open, espresso bar, the slot nobody else wants. I’m fast, I remember every order, and I make people feel welcome without making it a thing.

Nobody here knows me. That’s the point. I came to start clean, one shift at a time, and I wasn’t looking for anything but quiet.

Then the players started coming in. Same time. Same booth. Same orders. By the end of my first week I had them

Stellan—the one already at the counter before dawn, black coffee, both hands around the cup.
Colby—the one with the ridiculous order that changes every week just to keep me talking.
Holden—the one who never says much but clears the ice off my sidewalk before the sun’s up.
Rafferty—the beta who knows everyone and somehow gets me involved with the whole town.

My suppressants are slipping. The booth smells like four scents I can’t stop noticing. And seeing them each day is turning into the one thing I never let myself want—a place that feels like home.

I’ve spent my whole life passing through. This time, I want to stay. And I want all four of them.

About the author

Kara Kaminski writes high-heat, why-choose sports romance with fierce omegas, possessive alphas, and consent that reads like pre-game warmup. When she’s not plotting bench-clearing kisses, she’s mainlining coffee and yelling, “that was offside!”
