Tessa Greenwood has spent her life hiding from Alphas. As an unclaimed Omega in a world where dominance rules and choice is a luxury, she’s done everything right—home-schooled, careful, invisible. Her twin sister, Haylee, is the opposite: reckless, radiant, and drawn to danger like a moth to flame. So when Haylee begs Tessa to take her place for a harmless dinner with a clingy admirer, Tessa reluctantly agrees. One dinner, one lie, and it’ll be over. But the man waiting at the table isn’t poor. He isn’t harmless. He’s Lucien Virell—a ruthless King Alpha, known for wealth, power, and the string of broken Omegas he leaves behind. And he wants Tessa. With one command, he steals her body’s obedience. With one bite, he marks her as his. With one lie, her life is changed forever. Now trapped in a bond she never chose, Tessa finds herself caught between two fates: Lucien—the cruel, magnetic Alpha who won’t let her go… And Rowan Vale—his cousin, the quiet Alpha who saw her first, and loved her without needing to own her. But when love comes too late, and the mark binds too deep, how do you choose between freedom and fate? And when your body craves the Alpha who broke you… How do you trust the one who never touched you?
