He was hired to find her. He wasn't supposed to keep her. Sienna hasn't trusted an alpha since the day her parents sold her to a rehabilitation center at sixteen. Three years locked away. Weeks running through wilderness no one was supposed to survive. She's not broken — she's furious. Callan doesn't do feelings. He tracks. He delivers. He walks away. Then her scent is all he can think about and walking away stops being an option. In a cabin at the edge of nowhere, she teaches him that protection means asking first. He shows her that not every alpha wants to own what he's drawn to. And when he tries to sacrifice himself to guarantee her freedom, she discovers something worse than captivity — losing the one person who ever gave her a real choice. A high-heat omegaverse romance with fated mates, forced proximity, and an alpha who asks before he touches. HEA guaranteed.
