Sometimes the biggest secret is the one we keep from ourselves.
Tough beta cop, Mark, wakes one morning with a hangover and some very vague memories of the previous night. One of those memories is something that Mark believes can’t be possible.
He sees a flash in his mind of his best friend, Landon, who also happens to be his partner at work. Someone he’s always had a crush on. The thing that Mark can’t believe is what Landon is doing in that memory. And why Landon doesn’t have any clothes on.
It isn’t until Landon brings up the event that Mark realizes what is happening to him. For the last forty years, young beta men have been turning into omegas. Some as late as their twenties.
Mark is filled with shame when he realizes that's what's happening. He went into heat. He threw himself at his partner. He's now an omega.
And he's carrying Landon’s baby.
Mark’s whole world comes unraveled as he struggles with the changes his body is going through, as well as the changes in his perception of the world around him. He’s no longer the tough beta cop he thought he was, but Mark starts to realize what true strength really is.
His Biggest Secret is a friends-to-lovers novella of 37k words with some bad language, hot sexy times, exciting and suspenseful moments, and a super cute baby to cuddle and tickle. It is intended for readers over the age of 18.

“You,” he said in his deep, commanding voice, “are the man of my dreams. And I will always be madly in love with you.”
I interested in this book because the blurb totally intrigued me. The idea of a tough beta cop who suddenly changed into an omega really grew curiosity in me. So I decided to pick the book and read it in one sit.
The premise of the story give an impression that the story gonna be 'something'. And it is really start with 'something' that I thought was really good.
Mark's emotional conflicts in facing his sudden change from a beta to an omega and the thought of transforming from a tough beta into 'a second class citizens' for being an omega with all the 'weaknesses' and 'breeding class' stereotypes had put Mark into huge stress.
Afraid of what people will think about him and losing the respect from his colleagues at work make Mark keep denying the fact that he's now an omega and carrying a child from his alpha cop partner, Landon.
While Landon keep showing his care for what happen to Mark and offering his 'help', Mark keep pushing him away and hurt Landon's heart without even knowing that all these years Landon had secretly in love with him.
I love what Landon trying to do to make Mark see the good side from what had happen to him and patiently trying to be on Mark's side during his struggle and confusing moment. He's totally a good alpha with tender heart who can see the bright future for him and Mark can make if Mark could see what he'd seen.
I wish I could 'hate' Mark for his rude behavior to Landon, but I can't. Because can you imagine being in his shoes? Sure, it's definitely not easy to cope. But when he finally can see the good side from all that happen to him and accepted it, things start to changing for both of them.
Well, it's a very rare thing I like this kind of omega-Mpreg-non-shifter story, but I can make exception for this one.
And now I can't wait for Mark's brother, Stephen and Dr. Jake Livingston story. I'm curious what exactly happened between them back then?
