    Summary

    Jamie Tartt is just a clever omega in a village tavern, juggling debts and a drunk father, dodging Lord Mannion’s predatory offers.

    Until one night, his father makes a terrible wager: to break into the Beast of Kent’s castle.

    When the theft fails, Jamie’s only desperate solution is to trade his own life for his father’s.

    But the “Beast” is no monster, not really. Roy Kent is a scarred alpha, once a knight, now a recluse with a ruined castle and a ruined heart. He never expected to find his soulmate in the tavern boy who storms into his halls with more cheek than fear.

    Inside the castle’s walls, Jamie finds dusty libraries, loyal servants, and a gruff alpha whose growl hides something softer. But outside, Lord Mannion plots, and Jamie’s suppressed heat can’t stay hidden forever.

    It starts as a bargain. It becomes a bond. And when blood is spilled, Jamie must decide if he will cling to the ruins of his old life—or build a forever with the Beast.
