Knotty Omegas is an ongoing series of interconnected standalone novels that take place in a shared universe. In other words, the rules are the same across these books and some characters may overlap, but you can pick up any book in the series and understand it without reading the others. (If you do plan on reading them all, however, you’d probably enjoy them most in sequential order.) Regardless of how you read them, you’ll always find feisty omegas, hot alphas, and guaranteed happily ever afters.
A Note on the Omegaverse: While the rules vary by author, it is best to go into omegaverse books with some idea of what it’s all about. So, in a nutshell, it’s an alternate reality where humans are born either alphas, betas, or omegas, which come with a variety of biological markers and designated places within a societal hierarchy. What a mouthful, right? What you really need to know is alphas want to bang omegas, their scents drive each other wild, and they cannot get enough of each other. Kinks vary from there. You’ll catch on to the rules of my world pretty quickly, and if you want more info on the whole omegaverse subgenre, there are some useful sites like this one or this one, or this excellent IG post, none of which are affiliated with A.J. Shirley, but have been useful in my own research. The brilliant individual behind the IG post I linked has released Unofficial Omegaverse Field Guide if you want more info.
Knot Their Style: A Contemporary Omegaverse Reverse Harem Romance
Book 1 of the Knotty Omegas Series
She doesn’t fit their world. But she might be the one to complete it.
Serenity. Serenity Rose Johnson has only one hope, and that’s to find a pack that will treat her kindly, and maybe allow her to follow her dreams of being a fashion designer. She hasn’t had it easy, but somehow, she’s never given up that hope—not even after her dads sold her to omega traffickers to settle their debts.
Her foolish hope helps her to escape her abusers, but she finds herself alone on the side of a deserted road in the middle of winter, in the dead of night. Headlights are the last thing she sees before unconsciousness and certain death.
But when Serenity wakes up, she isn’t dead, although she might just be in heaven: the mansion of the famous Pack Rhodes, four of the country’s most eligible bachelors. Business mogul Sebastián Rivera St. James, rock star Malcolm Rivers, pro linebacker Tane Kekoa, and their pack leader, heartthrob actor Remy Rhodes just happen to be searching for a pack omega. As the handsome alphas nurse her back to health, Serenity can’t help but hope that she might be what they’re looking for.
Remy. Remy Rhodes has a plan and Serenity Rose Johnson isn’t in it. His family—and the rest of the world—have high expectations for him and, as pack leader, it’s up to him to make sure that Pack Rhodes maintain their impeccable reputation. They have wealth, power, and fame. There’s only one thing missing, and they’ll finally have it all.
After years of hard work and preparation, they’re ready to complete their pack—they just have to find their perfect omega. Of course, Remy has carefully compiled a list of suitable women who would bring his pack even more prestige. He’s more than prepared to choose between five rich, beautiful omegas who belong in Pack Rhodes’s world.
So, when his friends stumble into the packhouse after a night of partying carrying an unconscious, unbonded omega, Remy is far from happy about it. He’s even less happy when he catches the potency of her scent and sees the way she affects his packmates…and Remy himself if he’s being honest. Before long, he has to admit that his pack is falling for the sassy little omega from the wrong side of the tracks.
Now, it’ll take all his careful control to keep their plans on track and keep their unexpected guest from upending their entire lives.
Content Warnings: Knot Their Style is a contemporary omegaverse reverse harem romance. Like many omegaverse stories, it features a relationship and explicit open-door sex involving one woman and multiple men. There is also mention of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse and sex trafficking; however, the abuse occurs before the book begins and this story starts with the protagonist’s escape from said abuse. Her experiences do impact her journey, so there will be references to her trauma throughout the story, but she’s going to overcome it and the bad guy will get his comeuppance. And don’t worry—our girl definitely gets her happily ever after.

Knot Their Cup of Tea: A Contemporary Omegaverse Reverse Harem Romance
Book 2 of the Knotty Omegas Series
A pop princess. A reluctant prince. One snowstorm to change everything.
Destiny. Destiny Duvalle has it all: money, fame, millions of adoring fans, and loving parents who have managed her music career since she broke into the business at age sixteen. But at twenty-four, Destiny is tired of the hustle and bustle of celebrity life, of constantly being “on”, of being international popstar Destiny Duvalle. It’s why she’s turned down proposals from so many packs—that and her sneaking suspicion that her omega instincts are broken. If she’s being honest, Destiny is afraid that without her fame and fortune, her parents (and everyone else) will see the real her and find her woefully inadequate.
After a long and successful tour, she’s looking forward to heading home for the holidays and having some time to think. Unfortunately, her mother books her one more gig—a quick private performance for the Avondalian royal family…including the crown prince and his pack. Destiny knows Pack Stepanov’s roguish reputation and has no intention of falling for their charms. But suddenly her omega instincts seem very much intact and they did not get the memo.
Xander. Prince Alexander Stepanov is a screw up. He knows it, his pack knows it, his family knows it, and his people know it. Public opinion is that he’s not fit to lead and Xander secretly agrees. He’s never wanted the throne and its responsibilities. As much as he loves the people of Avondale, he hates all the politics of ruling. But as time passes and his inevitable ascendancy looms, Xander knows he’s running out of time to shape up and prove his worth.
When his drunken escapades lead to a meet-not-so-cute with gorgeous popstar Destiny Duvalle, Xander is annoyed to discover she’s the one woman who seems totally immune to his charms. With her perfect looks, glamorous career, and vapid music, Destiny is exactly the type of superficial phony Xander tries to avoid. But when her stay is extended by a huge snowstorm, Xander realizes there is more to her than meets the eye. Will this prove to be a Christmas miracle, or just another regret?

Knot Their First Rodeo: A Contemporary Omegaverse Reverse Harem Romance
Book 3 of the Knotty Omegas Series
They lost their forever. She never believed in it. Fate had other ideas.
Genesis. Genesis Valentine knows exactly what she wants out of life. As a decorated journalist, she is determined to tell stories that matter, and to make a difference in the world. Unfortunately, as an unbonded omega, she’s considered a liability in the field. If she wants to take her career to the next level, she has to show her editor that she can get her scent under control. And that means taking on a pack, at least temporarily.
At almost thirty, Genesis should’ve been bonded years ago, but she refuses to be a slave to societal expectations or even biological needs. She has no interest in being owned by a bunch of alphaholes who would try to control her life and interfere with her plans. So, when she’s matched with a temporary pack of widowed alphas who have no intention of mating again, Genesis knows she’s found the perfect solution to all her problems. However, when she meets the handsome pack of silver foxes, Genesis quickly realizes she might’ve gotten more than she bargained for.
Orlando. Orlando Rossi has built a perfect life. His business is wildly successful, and his packmates’ artistic and farming ventures are equally impressive. They have a beautiful home and more money than they can spend. Perfect.
Except for the gaping hole where their omega used to be. In the decade since her death, Orlando has done everything he can to get Pack Rossi back on their feet. They’ve come so far, but he knows something is still missing.
When they take on a smart, feisty temporary omega who smells like heaven, Orlando knows immediately that everything is about to change. Unfortunately, both Genesis and Orlando’s packmates are stubborn, strong-willed, and set in their ways. Is it too late to find love again, or will Genesis be the fresh start they didn’t know they needed?

Knot Their Job: A Contemporary Omegaverse Why Choose Romance
Book 4 of the Knotty Omegas Series
They were the last men she would ever fall for. She was just another job. Sparks were bound to fly.
Bianca. Bianca Bonnycastle has everything money can buy. Except happiness. As the only daughter of one of the richest families in the world, she’s learned that love is a luxury she can’t afford. Feelings are liabilities. Bonds are bargaining chips. And her future is already planned: a tidy, advantageous mating to a pack of elderly, wealthy, widowed alphas who want her connections more than her heart.
After striking up an unexpected friendship with a charismatic male omega, Bianca makes herself and her new friend one promise. Before she sells her future, she’ll take one last indulgence.
Her alpha bodyguards.
She can’t deny the intense attraction between them or the way they get beneath her skin. They’re always there, watching her, protecting her, seeing far too much. What starts as a strictly temporary arrangement—no promises, no bonds, no love—quickly unravels under forced proximity, simmering heat, and an omega who’s been touch-starved for far too long.
As Bianca’s planned mating looms closer, she must decide whether it’s worth risking her future for the only thing that’s ever felt real.
Quentin. Quentin King and his packmates aren’t looking for an omega, and certainly not one so far out of their league that she’s practically untouchable. Protecting Bianca Bonnycastle is supposed to be just a job, a golden opportunity for their new security firm. It’s a job they can’t afford to mess up.
Unfortunately, Bianca turns out to be frustrating and fascinating and beautifully broken, full of a simmering rage Quentin finds all too familiar. She’s also snobbish, rude, and determined to dislike Pack King.
But there’s something about her that Quentin can’t seem to resist. And his pack isn’t looking at Bianca like a contract.
They’re looking at her like she belongs with them.
Will Quentin ever be able to convince the Bonnycastle heiress to leave her opulent life behind and take a chance on them?
