Only a place this wicked could grow something so sweet.
Peaches ran from the Rig and the father who would’ve caged her for life. She found safety in the Austin den—sunlight, sisterhood, and even hope.
But all that shatters the day the bounty hunter comes.
Javi Ortega doesn’t want a mate. Doesn’t want to be the Prime’s errand boy. He’s just here to collect a paycheck. Snatch the runaway omega and drag her back to the Gulf. No questions. No conscience.
But the moment he scents her, everything changes.
Now he’s the one who feels trapped—by her scent, by the bond, by the hunger that crashes through him like a storm at sea. And when he takes her back to the cult that raised her, Javi realizes too late that he’s delivered her to a living hell.
The Prime wants a sacrifice.
The Rig wants blood.
And Javi?
He wants to sink his teeth into the only sweet thing this rotten place has ever grown… even if claiming her means losing everything.
