The Safest Place She Knows - Viola Grace

Iris is a cocktail server with a price on her head for live delivery. She is stalked after a night out and has to run. She looks around and heads to the safest place she knows. She climbs a wall and collapses. The dogs rush in, and she is protected from followers. Then, her old boss walks up, and her fate is changed forever. Going from ex-nanny to lover isn't as large a jump as she thought.
Lya is a friend of Iris who has been having a rough time. Pursued by the Omega Centre, attacked and broken by alphas, Lya is trying to keep herself and the child in her care safe and free. It isn't going well. Iris's new mates know someone with similar interests to Lya, and once she hears about his snake, she's all in.
Zelle was on a survival show with Lya, and as they are cousins, they share the bonds of blood. She had been following her instincts when she propositioned someone on the way to the island for the show, and when she began getting ill one week later, she admitted she may have miscalculated. Sure, the guy had been pretty, but this was a hefty cost.
