    Summary

    Shane Hollander used to be hockey’s favorite beta—until someone exposed him as an omega and ended his career.

    Years later, Shane has built a quiet life in Los Angeles helping omegas escape controlling alphas. It’s useful, predictable, and safely plain. Exactly what he wants.

    Or so he tells himself.

    Then a dangerously feral alpha checks into the center under the confidential name Mr. R.

    The patient is Ilya Rozanov: Shane’s former rival, first lover, and the only person he trusted with the secret that destroyed his life.

    Now Ilya can barely speak. His suppressants aren’t working, Shane’s blockers are wearing thin, and the center believes Shane may be the only person who can reach him.

    The problem? Shane still doesn’t know whether Ilya is the man who betrayed him.

    Or: Shane built a life proving omegas don’t need alphas. Then his body recognized the one alpha he never stopped wanting.
