The Minor Side character Wants To Live

When Jace Smith suddenly kicks the bucket and finds himself reborn in a novel he used to detest, he becomes Avery Ford—a troubled Omega from a wealthy family, struggling with a serious heart condition and a not-so-great reputation. In this new life, Avery has to figure out how to break free from his overbearing dad, Callan. His best shot at freedom? Getting married.



That's where Sloane Delaney comes in. He’s a wealthy alpha and the grandson of a powerful matriarch, dealing with the fallout from a traumatic car accident that left him both physically and emotionally scarred. For Avery, Sloane’s scars don’t matter much. When Sloane pops the marriage proposal at the perfect time, Avery sees it as a chance to start fresh.



At first, their marriage seems like a practical solution, with both guys looking for an escape. But as Avery starts to genuinely care for the quiet and gentle Sloane, their simple arrangement gets way more complicated.



Loving Sloane isn’t a walk in the park. He’s haunted by betrayal and wrestling with his past, while also on a quest for revenge. His moods swing wildly—sometimes he’s warm and inviting, other times he’s icy and distant. This rollercoaster leaves Avery feeling lost, but he’s determined to get through to Sloane, even if it might cost him everything.



As they deal with revenge schemes, hidden family secrets, a dangerous ex, and cutthroat business rivals, Avery and Sloane try to navigate their rocky journey together. Can they find comfort and healing in their unexpected love, or will Avery’s feelings stay one-sided as Sloane battles the darkness that threatens to swallow him whole?
