Violet by Brooke Harper

Being the eldest Gardener daughter means constantly balancing my Omega nature with society’s relentless expectations. I’m the golden child, the overachiever, and when it comes to finding a mate, I won’t settle for anything less than perfect.

I can’t.

Luckily, during this spring’s mating season, I catch the attention of the Council Monarch, and suddenly, I’m the hottest topic on social media. Just when things seem to be falling into place, in walks Stephan Ashford—famous actor and devastatingly charming lone Alpha. His scandalous past and refusal to claim an Omega makes him the most eligible—and unattainable—Alpha of the season, but he’s just what I need.

To get people talking, Stephan and I agree to a fake relationship. For him, it keeps his rabid fans at bay; for me, it brings more potential mates to my door. But as our connection deepens, something far more dangerous simmers beneath the surface.

Now, we’re caught in a war between our own primal instincts and the dark secrets we carry. It could implode all around us—or lead us straight into each other’s arms.
