A mafia alpha. A hunted omega. One forced bond that turns into a city-wide war. Dante Castellano runs violence like a business and loyalty like a leash. As the enforcer for the Castellano empire, he only cared about two things: absolute control and the legacy of a name that acts as a lock on the city. He expected a strategic asset to secure a treaty; he didn’t expect a woman whose scent is a weapon, whose mind is a laboratory, and whose secrets could burn both their families to the ground. Rivera Valdez escaped the gilded cage of her family’s syndicate once, but she couldn’t escape the chemical fire she started. A scientist on the run, she is driven by a burning need to destroy the trade that turns bodies into currency. Her only hope for survival is the lethal alpha she was promised to marry—if she can survive the intoxicating, bone-deep surrender of wanting him. When a rival syndicate puts a price on Rivera's genetics and her own family moves to reclaim their most valuable "asset," the shadows of Miami close in. The only way to save the city—and their future—is a claim Rivera swore she’d never accept from an alpha who swore he’d never need anyone. In a world where love is leverage and the bond is weaponized, surrender is the only way to survive.
