Nate Lewis is a wealthy Alpha bachelor who hasn’t yet made the right connection with a beta, and therefore he spends his evenings alone in his luxurious cabin up in the mountains, with no one but his adoptive daughter as company.
Until one day when he leaves his office and finds a bruised and abused beta unconscious in his parking garage. After weighing up all his options, Nate takes the beta home. But it soon becomes clear that this isn’t just a simple case of a beta getting into a scuffle. The beta–young, beautiful Riley Thomas–has been claimed by another Alpha, one who thinks betas are little more than property to own and use at will.
Riley Thomas has an Alpha, and it doesn’t matter that he never agreed to the mating. The Alpha wanted him, and so he took him. And Riley has spent what feels like an eternity in his own personal hell.
After one particularly violent incident, he attempts another escape, only to end up passing out by nightfall. When he wakes up, he’s on a couch in a grand room full of wealth, and there’s an Alpha looking at him. An Alpha who, as it turns out, is nothing like the one who owns him.
The law says Riley’s claimed, owned by another, and Nate’s never agreed with that. Betas should be equal and treated with respect. But there’s nothing he can do about it without starting an Alpha war, and he has the safety of his daughter to think about. On the other hand, there’s a pull in his gut that says he needs to protect the vulnerable beta, like there’s something in the universe wanting to keep them together.
Trouble is, Riley’s sadistic Alpha isn’t the kind to give up his possessions without a dirty fight.
