The Scent of Sin by Halle Dawson

I’ve spent my whole life hiding what I am.

I’m a former foster kid, broken in ways I don’t talk about. Eleven years of suppressants. A childhood I barely survived. A secret buried so deep I almost forgot it was there.
When my adoptive mom married Richard Graves, I thought I could keep pretending. New house. New family. New chance to be normal. To be invisible. To be anything other than what I really am.

Then I met his sons.
Atlas, Zero, and Bane Graves are everything that should terrify me—dominant, ruthless, and tangled in the dark underbelly of their father’s empire. They run a world built on blood and silence. They don’t do soft. They don’t do safe.

And they’re my stepbrothers.
I wanted to stay invisible. I wanted to keep my head down and my secret locked away. But the moment I step through their door, something fractures.

They scent me.
My suppressants are gone. The shame I’ve carried since I was nine years old is clawing its way to the surface. And the Graves brothers—the ones who should hate me, the ones who should look right through me—they’re looking at me like I’m something to devour.

But the brothers aren’t the only ones watching.
There are people in the shadows who know exactly what I am—and what I’m worth. The Graves empire has enemies. And an unclaimed omega in their house? That’s not just a secret.

It’s leverage.
I’ve spent my whole life believing I was wrong. Dirty. Broken beyond repair.
The Graves brothers don’t want me fixed. They want me claimed.
But someone else wants me taken.
