“You are an insult from the Moon Goddess. I would rather remain alone than claim an omega like you!” Those were the words Alpha Lucan Thorne used to reject Tilly Dunn, his fated mate. A widowed Alpha still mourning his dead Luna, Lucan wants nothing to do with the omega fate has chosen for him. But their bond refuses to break, no matter how fiercely he denies her. Then there's Cade, Tilly's handsome stepbrother, who holds her when she cries, teaches her to fight, and whispers, “You're beautiful, Tilly. He's a fool for not seeing it.” But Cade has a mate of his own, and loving Tilly in secret is easier than choosing her in public. Caught between an Alpha who rejects her and a man too cowardly to claim her, Tilly is tired of being everyone's shameful secret. As buried family secrets surface and a dangerous betrayal threatens Blackridge, the powerless omega everyone despises may turn out to be the one person no one can afford to underestimate. Lucan may be her fated mate, but will he earn the right to call her his Luna before Tilly walks away forever?
