He owns the city’s underworld. I just wanted a paycheck. At twenty-three, omega Elian’s only goal is keeping his grandmother alive. That leads to meeting the one man no one dares defy, Dante Vega, the forty-five-year-old kingpin of Highcliff. Elian never expected to catch the ruthless alpha’s eye. Or to go into heat at the worst possible moment. Now he’s knotted. Claimed. Pregnant. But being owned by Dante means more than silk sheets and bodyguards. It means becoming the target of every rival who wants to watch the Vega empire burn. Elian doesn’t know if he’s a pawn or a prize. But there’s one thing he does Dante Vega will destroy anyone who tries to take what’s his. An age gap. A surprise pregnancy. A love that carves softness into a killer’s heart.
