Summary

It was an icy morning, one of those where you want to stay in bed until the sunlight bothers you so much that you can’t help but get up. 
I looked around me, contemplating the framed photographs on my bedroom walls. There were maybe a hundred, or maybe more: I had lost count. They were all framed: white, black blue… made out of wood,  brass, silver… in an effort to make each one unique, different from the rest. Each one of those photos was a memory, or at least had tried to be, a moment, an image of the present turned into the past in an instant. 
I don’t know what to call it, maybe an obsession, but I had a need for it: to immortalise people, to keep their memory alive so that in time someone could see them and know what they had done. But it was only an illusion.

    A cozy Omegaverse romance full of breathless tension, quiet devotion, and found family comfort. 
 
Emily Hart is on the run—from a life chosen for her, from the Alpha who thought she belonged to him, from the weight of expectations she never asked for. What she needs is somewhere to hide. What she finds is something she never dared hope for: safety. 
 
Tucked away in a small town where blueberry fields meet wild forests, Emily finds herself at a quiet farmhouse inn—and face to face with Matthew Granger. A broad-shouldered, soft-spoken Alpha who doesn't demand, doesn't push, and never once tries to stake a claim. His gentle presence is nothing like the Alphas she's been taught to fear. 
 
As the farm pulls her into its slow, grounding rhythm, Emily starts to breathe again—for the first time in years. Baking, planting, nesting—finding friends who understand what it means to carry fear inside your bones. And always, always Matthew: steady, respectful, touch-starved and patient in a way that leaves her breathless. 
 
There's no forced bond. No looming heat to make her pick. 
Only the choice to fall—for him, for safety, for respect.
