Contracted for at birth, sold to a higher bidder at the age of ten, and claimed when she was twenty, Liliona Dillard never enjoyed the freedom some of her omega sisters did. Unwilling and unable to accept that, she tried everything to break the unwanted claiming bond. Nothing was too taboo or off the table, and most of it was punishable by death if The Alpha found out.
But the only thing she broke was herself.
Damaged beyond repair, Lili runs from town to town, fleeing her alpha mate until the time comes when she needs him, if only for a few days.
Zayne is done fighting and thinks death is his only option, even if that means he takes Lili with him to the grave. He has a plan, and maybe Liliona would be free in death in a way she never was in life. But he isn’t going down without a fight, and if she’s going to hate him anyway, he’ll give her every reason as he tries one last push to fix things.
Still, Zayne isn’t as cold as Lili thinks, and when he takes her captive, forcing her to see what their life could have been, her reasons to hate him multiply. So do her feelings and the complications they bring.
While The New South’s deadliest fixers turn their sights on Zayne, he fights to repair his damaged bond
with Lili before it’s too late, because once on the hunt, nothing escapes them for long. Though None of that matters because Zayne Dillard understands that if the O’Day brothers don’t kill him, Eve Jennings will.
