Twenty-two-year-old Omega jewelry student Luca Reyes has spent ten years in the powerful Shaw household, never certain whether he is family or a debt being tolerated. When his possessive Alpha stepbrother Gideon returns, a buried attraction becomes coercion, a secret marriage, and a pregnancy. A wedding attack aboard the ORPHEUS lets Luca disappear with his unborn twins and begin again in London under a new name.
Nearly four years later, Gideon finds Luca alive, raising Finn and Ivy and running TIDEGLASS. Their reunion exposes a second controlling protector, a buried maritime crime tied to Luca's mother, and a jewelry sabotage conspiracy. Luca must stop choosing between cages and claim a life whose doors remain open, while Gideon must learn that saving someone does not make that person his.
