Summary
In a future world where cities separate people into sky-high towers and environmental collapse has made travel impossible, inventor Stede Bonnet has been developing telepathic communication technology to bring people closer together. When he hears about an exclusive club that's using similar technology in a very different way, it just makes business sense to check it out. The fact that it's a sex club designed to read people's deepest unspoken desires and match them with aligned others, when Stede's never once felt aligned with his own wife, is incidental... until it's not.
Ed Teach built the Impossible Birds club to allow people to keep their distance while they fight their loneliness through other kinds of connection. The last thing he expected was to find a guest who matched and aligned with him, after years of hovering above it all. And the more times his anonymous guest comes back, and the more things he unlocks about himself, the more Ed can feel himself falling in a way he never planned.
But is reading each other's minds enough? This is a story about two absolutely perfect people learning to communicate in every conceivable way, in a world that's falling apart outside their dream.

Summary
Edward Teach has risen to fame singing songs that have become an anthem for those raging against the world and trying to find themselves. He's one of the most famous musicians in the world and one of the few omegas who has risen to stardom standing on his own two feet. He's independent and proud of the fact, but after two decades of recording and tours he's begun to feel as though the persona of Blackbeard is a hollow one. When he splits from his boyfriend barely a month away from his heat he decides to do something he'd never have considered while younger, hiring an alpha for company.
Stede Bonnet is used to being a failure. He's failed his father, failed his beta wife, failed his children. In fact, he's so used to failure that he finally broke the chains of his old life and decided to just be himself. After quitting his father's business, divorcing his wife so she can be with the man she loves, and setting out on his own he decides to enjoy a bit of pettiness and accept a job offer he knows will enrage his father. Working as a paid alpha escort for omegas seeking simple companionship or even wanting an alpha to spend their heat with.
