The night before leaving for Seattle, I finally gave in to four years of secret feelings for Julian Cross—my best friend, a powerful billionaire Alpha heir who could never truly bond with an ordinary Beta like me. I thought one reckless night could be forgotten after I blocked his number and fled across the country. But Julian was waiting at the airport, determined to know why I had run—and unwilling to let me disappear from his life again. When he moves into my apartment, the walls I built around my heart begin to crumble. Just as I start believing his feelings might be real, the Cross family announces his engagement to a highly compatible Omega. Julian insists I’m the only one he wants, but choosing me could cost him his inheritance. Faced with the choice between staying with the man I love and protecting his future, will I finally stay—or run away from Julian one last time?
