In a non-shifting alpha/omega society, omegas have become so scarce, they're sequestered at birth in isolated facilities. Rafael Vargas, cyber expert, is an omega hiding in plain sight. At least until activists recruit him to hack an omega facility and rescue the children. He gets away clean until a prime alpha unwittingly hires him to trace the hack. With his precious freedom at risk, Rafael battles his instinctive attraction to the alpha. Grant Tenereth, an alpha overseeing the omega facilities, is hell-bent on finding the kidnapped children. But from the moment he hires the fascinating but challenging Rafael, Grant finds himself questioning his rock-solid devotion to the rules. When he learns the man is an omega as well as a criminal hacker, he tries to do the right thing for the law, even if it isn't the right thing for him. Or for the omega. Grant struggles, trapped between duty and desire. Rafael aches for love but fears losing his independence. Will they realize before it's too late that what they have isn't just instinct? It's everything.
