Lydia Hart is a Beta who finally lands the campus heartthrob Jasper. But on the day he secondarily presents as an Omega, he rushes to share the good news — only to catch Jasper kissing another pretty Omega. Humiliated and dumped, he runs back to his dorm, where his heat hits early and his suppressants run out. Desperate, he begs his Alpha roommate, Hayden Cross, for a temporary mark. From that night on, nothing between them is the same. Through misunderstandings and a bitter cold war, Lydia slowly realizes Hayden is the one who has always treasured him — and Hayden has wanted to put a ring on him since the very first glance.
