Summer Heat Burns

The room knows Grace's taste. The Alpha knows exactly how her body will answer.

Grace arrives blindfolded at a luxury retreat no map names, bound by an NDA and paid well enough to ignore the unease crawling under her skin. Then a stranger hands over her key without asking who she is. Inside, everything fits like a glove, from the books on the shelves to the basil in a clay pot. Alone that night, Grace locks the door.

The lock is not the trap. Victor is. His scent feels like relief, and his purr turns instinct into hunger. His patience is more dangerous than force. Grace knows nothing healthy grows without resistance, yet this paradise has removed every rough edge before she can touch it. In a world where one claiming bite can never be undone, what will she do when she discovers how carefully her desires were anticipated, and what can a yes mean inside a cage designed to feel perfect?

A sun-drenched, explicit dark omegaverse romance with obsession, knotting, primal pursuit, and a dark HEA on the heroine's ground. Complete standalone, start anywhere.

Discover what desire costs when every part of paradise was planted for her, except the choice.
