Omega Maya keeps to herself working the fringes of known space to salvage derelict ships and other resources. She wants nothing to do with Alphas, so when Remy shows up at her current salvage operation, she’s at first displeased. He soon starts to win her over, but when her suppressant stops working, and he realizes she’s an Omega, he’s intent on claiming her. Maya doesn’t want to be any Alpha’s Omega, even Remy’s. Can she enjoy the pleasure he offers without surrendering everything she is and believes in or succumbing to her biological imperative to submit? Remy’s been searching for his Omega for years, and he’s convinced he’s found her in Maya. She stirs his need to love and protect, and it pains him that she doesn’t want what he’s offering. He understands the traumas in her past, but can he help her overcome them to embrace a future together?

Alpha Ryder isn’t looking for an Omega, but when he sees Daisy being auctioned to the highest bidder, he can’t resist bidding on her. Before he knows it, he’s spent a year’s earnings to buy the Omega. He offers her the choice of returning home, but she needs to mate desperately. Barely managing to resist claiming her, he’s shocked when she pulls him into a desperate rescue attempt to save her fellow Omega, who was also sold. Pursuing the buyers, Ryder sees the promise and possibility of a future with his Omega, but does Daisy even want such a thing, or will she choose her cloistered life at the Omega convent over being claimed by an Alpha?
