    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent years building a quiet, careful life for himself and his daughter. He just focuses on work, parenting, and keeping Yuki safe in a world that has not always been kind to omegas like himself. Everything changes the moment Yuki slips away from him at a crowded public event and is found in the arms of star hockey player Ilya Rozanov, who handles her with a gentleness that leaves Shane unexpectedly unsteady.

    What should have been a brief, awkward encounter becomes something far more complicated. Yuki adores Ilya on sight, and Ilya keeps showing up, offering small kindnesses, sending messages that turn into late-night conversations, and slipping into Shane's life with a warmth that feels dangerously easy.

    Shane, who promised himself he would never rely on a stranger, let alone an alpha, finds himself drawn to the one man he should not want.
