I can’t have her. She’s my patient and I’m her doctor. She’s sunshine and I’m stone cold ice.

Poppy

I’m going to die. All because I suck at dating. Time is running out and only an Alpha's claim can cure my dangerous bad luck before disaster strikes. Dying while choking on a hot dog alone in my apartment feels on brand.

When an Alpha saves me from the savage Australian outback, I think I’ve finally met my mate. There’s just one problem. He’s my doctor and is determined to remain coldly professional.

I don’t back down from a challenge.

To shatter his icy walls, I need to play a game of doctor that will make him burn for me.

Doc

My life is test results and clinical assessments. I’m focused on being the best doctor my small community deserves and I certainly don’t have time for a mate. Omegas are needy creatures, and I can’t provide the affection they crave.

It’s too late for me. My Alpha instincts froze over a long time ago.

When I rescue an unmated Omega, my dormant instincts thaw. As her doctor, I have a duty to remain professional. Her alluring curves and pretty smile won’t tempt me. Even if she smells like mine.

Outback Mate is the third book in the Aussie Alphas series and can be read as a standalone. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA.

Note from the Author

This is book three in a series of standalone books. You don’t have to read Outback Claim (Book One) and Outback Heat (Book Two) to understand the story, but it will help with cameos and context. It's written in Australian English and uses Australian slang.
