About Layla Heart About Easily Distracted Media Published by Easily Distracted Media Blurb Cyra, a rare Omega phoenix shifter, has had a rough week, to say the least. First, two playboy Alphas, a hydra and a griffin, start showing up at the cafe she works at. Their teasing getting her all hot and bothered, no matter how much she tries to ignore them. And then she accidentally accepts to play a princess at a spoiled shifter kid’s birthday party, where her crappy old car promptly breaks down. Luckily, or maybe she’s just cursed, a cerberus and a centaur Alpha are there to save the day and give her a ride home. For years, Cyra has managed to hide herself from other shifters, pretending she’s human. Because she doesn’t want her parents to marry her off to a rich Alphahole, Alpha asshole, for money and status or to be kidnapped and bred like some other rare Omega shifters. She wants her freedom, to be able to make her own choices, and both of those things are taken away the moment she’s mated. Once she’s claimed by an Alpha, she’ll become that Alpha’s property, and she refuses to live like that. But now everything she’s worked so hard for is falling apart around her. Money is tight, and with her crappy car constantly needing repairs, she won’t be able to afford the medication she needs to stay hidden from shifters, especially with the mating season only weeks away. So she makes a reckless decision and takes the cerberus and the centaur up on their offer to be their date to the yearly Night Gala, an exclusive shifter event for bachelor Alphas, Betas and Omegas, though it’s not uncommon for humans to attend too, as ‘dates’ or serving staff. Their offer is too tempting, one night of boring chats while looking pretty, and all her money problems will be solved. That is, until the hydra and griffin Alphas also appear at the Night Gala and everything goes to hell… This is the first book in the Her Shifter Harem’s Babies series, a paranormal Omegaverse reverse harem #WhyChoose story. This book may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).

Most of the spelling and grammar will be in UK style, but a lot of US slang is used. I want to specifically note that the spelling of griffin is used over the spelling of gryphon, and cerberus is spelled without a capital at the start because it’s used as a noun to describe mythical three headed dog creatures and not used as a proper name. Thanks! Happy reading! 1 Cyra Stepping behind the counter, I try to pull my skirt down as inconspicuously as possible. Why was this the only clean skirt I had this morning? I should have done laundry last weekend, but instead, I spent it all binging a new series that just came out on Netflix. It was my first weekend off in weeks and I felt like not being too responsible for a few days. Of course, I now pay for that lapse in judgement. “Two coffee, black, one hot chocolate and three apple pies for table fifteen.” I put the order into the system while Audrey, the other waitress on staff, starts making the drinks. I grab the slices of apple pie, putting them onto plates on my tray. It’s pretty calm in the cafe, even though it’s a beautiful day. I don’t mind because it means I don’t have to keep running all over the place the whole time, which is good with a misbehaving skirt. But it also means that the manager will get annoyed because we’ll have made less money, she’ll probably come up with some ridiculous idea as to how we should have gotten more customers. Some days just... Some days just won’t be crazy busy, that’s life. Audrey puts the cups on the tray. “Here you go.” She smiles as she glances around, dropping her voice to a whisper. “Are you even wearing shorts or something under that skirt?” “Hush.” I nudge her out of the way as I take my tray to the table with the two ladies and the young girl. They come here every Friday afternoon. I’m pretty sure that they’re three generations of the same family, grandma, daughter and granddaughter, since they all look pretty alike. They all have the same bright eyes and dark brown hair, though both of the older women have some grey hairs in theirs, which makes them look sophisticated for some reason. I put on my best smile. “Here you go.” I put everything down in front of them, then I stand back slightly. “Anything else I can get you?” The oldest woman smiles at me, she’s always so
