Ruby Martinez swore she was done being the “other” sister. The rebellious one. The disappointment. The Omega who never fit the mold her perfect younger sister wore so easily. After her pack’s betrayal—and the cheating bondmates who set her up to fail—Ruby leaves everything behind. Oakridge Hollow becomes her refuge. A town that doesn’t know her mistakes. A place where she can breathe. Summer brings heat, salt air, and an unexpected A beachfront barista gig in the upscale sub-town where rich kids vacation and secrets melt in the sun. Ruby says YOLO and rides in on her motorcycle, determined to make her mark one signature drink at a time. She never expects to be scouted by one of the trendiest model agencies in the region. Modeling? Her? The tall redhead with sunburned shoulders, inked wrists, and grease under her nails? There’s just one problem. To complete the six-week contract, she needs a pack. Enter her biggest mistake—and her only lifeline. By his side are his pack 🌊 Matteo Santori — the Italian lifeguard-surfer who smells like sea salt and sunscreen, grins like trouble, and watches Ruby like she’s the only thing worth saving. 📸 Lev Morozov — the Russian photographer and social media strategist who turns chaos into content, fame into protection, and Ruby’s confidence into a brand the world can’t ignore. 🖤 Étienne Marceau — the French “accountant” in pressed linen and expensive watches… whose calm smile screams organized crime. Ruby is ninety percent sure he balances books for the mafia—and one hundred percent sure he’d burn down a city for her. Six weeks. A fake pack.
