Logan: From the moment I first saw him, I knew I was screwed. Bennet Long wasn’t just any handsome Omega with sinfully blue eyes and an body that could make an Alpha like me ache long after I’d watched him go. He was off limits. Completely forbidden. I was 55. He was barely old enough to buy his own beer. And then there was the other catch...the one that turned Bennet Long from a no-go zone into the juiciest piece of forbidden fruit I could imagine...

Works of Paul Chek inspired me to write this book. I hope to show listeners that there is a purpose to life, and that it is the lessons we are learning in our everyday lives that give our life this purpose. I also feel there is something happening to the planet at this time, and we are privileged to be here. We are being guided and helped in many ways, which have not previously been open to us. As more and more people take an interest in matters which are "not of this world", the purposes of our true existence will come more into focus.
