Being the eldest Gardener daughter means constantly balancing my Omega nature with society's relentless expectations. I'm the golden child, the overachiever, and when it comes to finding a mate, I won't settle for anything less than perfect. I can't. Luckily, during this spring's mating season, I catch the attention of the Council Monarch, and suddenly, I'm the hottest topic on social media. Just when things seem to be falling into place, in walks Stephan Ashford-famous actor and devastatingly charming lone Alpha. His scandalous past and refusal to claim an Omega makes him the most eligible-and unattainable-Alpha of the season, but he's just what I need. To get people talking, Stephan and I agree to a fake relationship. For him, it keeps his rabid fans at bay; for me, it brings more potential mates to my door. But as our connection deepens, something far more dangerous simmers beneath the surface. Now, we're caught in a war between our own primal instincts and the dark secrets we carry. It could implode all around us-or lead us straight into each other's arms. Violet is a part of the Omegas in Bloom series . It is a modern Bridgerton retelling based in a contemporary omegaverse world, and it will end with the female main character having only one love interest.
