He’s the city’s fiercest enforcer, a superstar on the ice who everyone wants. I’m just the “Omega scandal” they whisper about behind closed doors. I never asked to be branded a troublemaker. But when you’re the staff member who keeps to herself—and rumor says you’re hooking up with an Alpha star—you become everyone’s favorite headline. They say I broke hearts. I wish they knew how mine never stood a chance once his cedar-and-spice scent wrapped around me like a promise. I used to think I’d never find a pack of my own, that no Alpha would look past the gossip. Yet he does more than look—he sees me, claims me. Suddenly, a man who could have any Omega in the stadium has me pinned against the lockers, begging me to trust him. My heart says yes, but my fears scream that the media and the team might tear us apart. All I want is to lean into him, to open my mouth and admit he’s the only one who’s ever made me feel safe. I crave the day I can stand before the world and say, I’m not just anyone’s Omega… I’m his. This is a scorching Omegaverse standalone featuring an Alpha who won’t apologize for claiming his Omega, sizzling knotting scenes, and a heroine who learns that real love is worth every risk.
