That Defining Moment: An MM Omegaverse Found Family and Hurt/Comfort Romance
Lysander Huxley has spent eight years being looked at. As TheoTheO, the most subscribed male omega on OnlyFans, he belonged to his subscribers. Then he walked out of his penthouse with only the clothes on his back and a vague intention to find out who he is when there's no one watching.
South-East Asia seems as good a place as any to discover himself.
Hamish McNally is an internationally recognised documentarian, the sort who can zone right in on the question his subject has spent a lifetime avoiding. He has interviewed world leaders, warlords, and a man with a well-documented case of globophilia. Yet he still finds Lysander Huxley the most fascinating person he has met in years.
A fortnight of sun, sex and dangerously good conversation later, Hamish flies home with an earnest "come find me in Melbourne when you're done sunning yourself," and Lysander does the single most reckless thing of his adult life and gets on a plane to claim his man.
What he's failed to account for is a male omega freshly out of a cult, the subject of Hamish's last documentary and current resident of Hamish's spare room, who does naked yoga in the back garden at six in the morning and calls Hamish his alpha.
a retired OnlyFans omega remaking himself at twenty-six, an alpha who seduces by way of his undivided attention and intense follow-up questions, a cult-survivor housemate whose grasp of boundaries is theoretical at best, and Lysander's discovery that he would trade several million subscribers for an audience of just one alpha.

About the author
Marlowe Kent
11 books17 followersOriginally from the UK, Marlowe Kent writes M/M romance from Melbourne, Australia, a city she's deeply in love with.
By day she works as a corporate IT product manager, which is as unglamorous as people imagine and then some. At least she can work from home most days, and the office snacks are top notch when she can't.
Writing is how she escapes it. Reading is how she escapes the writing when it's not going well. Reorganising her Obsidian vault for the fourteenth time and coding up a new dashboard is how she escapes both, while convincing herself it still counts as working on her books.
She lives with two gorgeous dogs who get more compliments than she does, and has strong feelings about Melbourne's cafés and the correct ratio of plot to filth.
Her favourite character so far is Barnaby from Below the Belt. Because he's such a horseboy.
