Summary
"The kiss escalated, turning fierce—his free arm banding around my waist, hauling me against his hard chest. I kissed him back despite myself, fingers tangling in his hair, pulling as much as clinging. Heat built between us, the bond singing, my omega side reveling in the connection even as my mind railed against it. I hated how good it felt, how his touch ignited me like nothing else."

Naomi Voss has spent three years hiding from the one man fate destined for her. Once childhood friends, she and Elias Kingsley were bound by the mate bond—until Naomi discovered a devastating secret connected to her father and fled before Elias could uncover the truth.
Now fate cruelly drags them back together when Naomi unknowingly ends up in Elias’s bed during his dangerous Alpha rut. Elias is no longer the boy she remembers. He’s become a powerful S-tier Alpha feared across the city—cold, dominant, and consumed by betrayal after Naomi vanished without explanation.
As misunderstandings, family conspiracies, and ruthless enemies close in around them, Naomi becomes trapped in a dangerous contract that binds her to the man she both fears and longs for. But beneath Elias’s cruelty lies a possessive obsession neither of them can escape.
