In a future where the United States is slowly rebuilding itself, Omega Travis Danten is a big city cop sent to a seemingly desolate city on the edge of the Waste. This desert is full of undesirables, and it’s only a matter of time before they wreak havoc. But, Omegas are always assigned Alphas, and his new partner’s job is to protect him.<br><br>But SdAI Alpha Virgil is not at all amused with the partner who chose him. Travis is willful and naive to the dangers a homicide detective faces here, and it makes Virgil’s job that much harder. And Travis, of course, is human and develops feelings, feelings that go beyond the rules about Omega/Alpha partnerships.<br><br>Travis and Virgil have to find common ground, find a killer, and find space for each other in their own hearts, even if one is artificial.

For one second, the suddenness made Travis clench his arms and legs, but his partner didn’t seem to even notice the weight of him. Virgil took them to the back of the apartment, nudged open the bedroom door, and dropped Travis on the bed. His skin buzzed with arousal. Travis wasted no time shucking off is work clothes. He had barely flung his shirt across the room and Virgil was on him, smothered under warm, bare skin and lips and hands. Travis accepted the hard kiss Virgil planted on his panting lips and he threaded greedy hands through his alpha’s beautiful black hair.
