Summer Heat Simmers

She thinks the whole island is a joke. He owns the punchline.

Erin has spent six years proving biology does not get a vote. Suppressants keep her Omega instincts silent and her mother's fate at a safe distance. A paid retreat on a luxury island should be easy money, a job she took for her sister's sake. She signed the NDA. She wore the linen blindfold. Nobody mentioned that the only boat leaves the moment she arrives.

Then her control begins to flicker. Elite Alphas are drifting toward rut, and the island has no easy exit. The only man who isn't performing seems invisible among the wealthy guests, dry and unimpressed, and he is exactly the one her waking body keeps calling home.

But he owns the island and funds the event, and he has hidden both facts from her. Desire is rising inside his lie, and if Erin surrenders now, she may never know whether the yes was ever hers.

A dark human omegaverse standalone with a complete HEA and a slow burn that detonates into heat, rut, knotting, and a claiming bite that can never be taken back.

Find out what a true yes costs on an island where even the exit belongs to him.
