In a non-shifting alpha/omega society, omegas have become so scarce, they’re sequestered at birth in isolated facilities. Rafael Vargas, cyber expert, is an omega hiding in plain sight. At least until activists recruit him to hack an omega facility and rescue the children. He gets away clean until a prime alpha unwittingly hires him to trace the hack. With his precious freedom at risk, Rafael battles his instinctive attraction to the alpha. Grant Tenereth, an alpha overseeing the omega facilities, is hell-bent on finding the kidnapped children. But from the moment he hires the fascinating but challenging Rafael, Grant finds himself questioning his rock-solid devotion to the rules. When he learns the man is an omega as well as a criminal hacker, he tries to do the right thing for the law, even if it isn’t the right thing for him. Or for the omega. Grant struggles, trapped between duty and desire. Rafael aches for love but fears losing his independence. Will they realize before it’s too late that what they have isn’t just instinct? It’s everything.

To Tame an Omega

So, no easy path to catch Rafael’s interest. Disappointed, Grant retraced his route to the freeway and headed home to change his clothes and check in with his office. When he pulled into the garage, he sat for a few moments wishing things had gone better. The whole trip had been a disaster—no traces to be found of the hacker and no clue to the whereabouts of the missing children. And that beautiful little girl who was slipping away—what price was she going to pay for his lack of success?


On the plus side, at least they’d uncovered a heartless profiteer with claws sunk deep into the facility’s funds. God only knew how many omega lives had been harmed by Lowther’s greed. Grant could and would do something about that.


And then there was Rafael. Grant’s relationship with the man was at best stalled, at worst over before it began. An insignificant problem in comparison to all the rest, but still it ate at him. He wasn’t used to being so damned powerless.
