My first crush.
My first kiss.
My first heartbreak.

Something real.
We’re the couple people whisper about, homecoming royalty with a love story that never quite got its happy ending. Because Asher doesn’t do happy endings. And I stopped believing I could be his a long time ago.
Now it’s our senior year, and we’re almost free of the smalltown bubble we live in, until one unexpected moment changes everything. One glance. One touch. One night that turns all our almosts into something undeniable.
This time, it’s not about the past, it’s about finally choosing each other.
Even if it scares us to death.

About the book
The tall alien’s eyes flashed. That was the only warning I got. He charged at me, throwing my crew mates aside as if they were nothing.
In that moment, I was certain he would kill me.
But no death blow came. Instead, he spoke, his deep voice heavily accented, each word like stone slabs falling into place.
“You are mine.”
Clay
I don't ask for much from life; I get paid, and then I get laid. And piloting spaceships across the galaxy keeps my solo lifestyle well funded. I don't need a relationship or any of the baggage that comes with it. I like my men like I like my coffee; to go.
That is, until the most boring job in the universe goes horribly wrong and I’m snatched from my ship by a seven-foot alien. He's huge, he's purple, and he's ripped as hell. I'm sure I'm a dead man.
Only it turns out he doesn't want to kill me. What he wants is far worse.
Arcay
I am the Second; Aldar royalty, the right hand of our leader. I live a half life. On my planet, alphas and omegas are believed to be two halves of a soul. But Omegas are a rare treasure, all but extinct, and I have resigned myself to never knowing the joy of a soul bond.
But that all changes the moment I step onto the human ship. By some miracle, their pilot is an unclaimed omega. It does not matter that he is a different species, I have to have him.
That should be my happy ending; omegas are supposed to be meek, obedient, and willing. Clay is anything but. He resists me at every turn. I must bend him to my will before his potent pheromones draw every unmated alpha on the ship–my rank will only hold them back for so long.
