Overview

A grumpy, off-limits alpha. A guarded omega with nowhere left to run. A single broken lock that changes everything.

Noah Reynolds isn’t looking for trouble. He moved into this quiet apartment building to escape alphas, not attract one. But when a broken key leaves him stranded in the hallway, his brooding next-door neighbor steps in—towering, growly, and too damn intense for Noah’s peace of mind.

Dean doesn’t do complications. And he definitely doesn’t do omegas. He’s spent years burying his instincts, keeping his past locked down tight. But from the moment Noah stumbles into his world, all wide eyes and wary defiance, Dean’s alpha instincts stir for the first time in years.

Noah refuses to trust an alpha again, no matter how steady Dean’s hands are…or how safe he feels in his presence. And Dean swore he’d never let himself want this. But when close quarters lead to heated glances, when Noah’s scent starts driving him wild, how long before they stop pretending?
