They call it The Den—where alphas and omegas give in to our baser instincts, stripping away etiquette and inhibitions in a haze of raw heat, slick, and sweat. It’s a place where masks provide anonymity, and we can unleash our primal urges.

The summer before my senior year of college was supposed to be simple: lose my virginity, avoid all unnecessary drama, and keep my mind focused on my future career far away from this small town.
Easy enough.
Too bad my newly emerged omega instincts have other plans and my first heat cycle hits me like a freight train with no brakes and zero respect for timing.
What was supposed to be a one-time, anonymous hookup behind a glory hole has turned into a slick mess of heat haze, bad decisions, and way too much cuddling. Because the cocky, dirty-talking alpha on the other side of the wall? Yeah, that turns out to be Maverick—my brother’s best friend and the last person on Earth I should be moaning for.
And when the heat pheromones finally subside, will Maverick want to pretend it never happened, the way any sane person would after crossing the line with their best friend’s nerdy little brother? Or will he try to stake his alpha claim on me and ruin my future plans?
Either way, I’m in big trouble.
And possibly in heat again…

y life. I need something, someone, to make me feel alive again, if only for a little while.

But some omegas don’t want to be claimed. Especially when the one I chose, the one who smells like crème brûlée and mine, turns out to be my supervisor at work.
I know I should walk away. That he doesn’t want an alpha. But he makes me feel alive like nothing else ever has. And surrendering to our instincts feels like the only mistake worth making.
