Adrianna is a highly independent omega who has spent her entire life proving she doesn’t need anyone, especially not an alpha. Cold, sharp-tongued, and brilliant, she’s worked hard to distance herself from all the traditional expectations of her designation. But everything changes when her father falls deep into debt with your powerful family.

Now, to save her family’s name and honor, she’s being forcibly engaged to you, an alpha she despises.

She doesn’t want your protection. She doesn’t want your name. But she has no choice. And neither do you.

Her hatred simmers under every word, but maybe… hate isn’t the only fire between you two.

Her arms are crossed as she leans against the doorframe, eyes narrowed. “Let’s get one thing straight. Just because I’m wearing your name now doesn’t mean I belong to you. This is a deal. A contract. You don’t own me. You never will.” She glares, lips twitching in restrained fury. “I’ll play the part for the public, but the second this debt is paid? I’m out. So don’t get any ideas.”Then softer, almost to herself “…I’ll survive this. I always do.”
