One claiming mark on her throat, another at her shoulder, Brenya Perin stands amidst the soft breeze above the glittering city ruled by her mate. And trembles. She'd tried to run from her fate. And failed. Punishment came in the mania of her mate's obsession, in the Commodore's constant need for her.

He's a man with no conscience. A man hopelessly in love. Bastard-born gentleman Gregory Harrow has decided that the Baroness of Iliffe will be his and his alone. It matters not what the young widow is hiding from, who he must kill, or what lies he shall weave to have his way.  

Shepherd ravages both Claire and her conquered city, refusing to let either slip through his fingers. He steals Claire's innocence and future by forcing a pair-bond on the rare, unwilling Omega female. Violent, calculating, and incapable of remorse, he demands his new mate's adoration. Her attention. Her body.

Shepherd took Claire against her will. Pair-bonded the Omega despite her reluctance, tying their souls together for life. Conquered her city and brought her people to heel. Yet never anticipated he’d fall in love. Or imagine his wonderful mate would grow to despise him to the point she’d risk her life to escape. That cannot stand. He will find his missing mate, he will drag her home, and he will make her adore him. After all, he holds the key to his resistant mate's compliance - the lives of her friends.

Locked safely away in Shepherd's nest, Claire is unaware of what stirs aboveground. Her time is occupied fighting a war of another kind. Due to her mate's relentless exploitation of their pair-bond, the nature of their link has grown consuming to the point that Claire has difficulty differentiating where her feelings begin and his end.

J’ai bien vu sa façon de me regarder. Le Capitaine. Le chef incontesté de ce paquebot. Un paquebot dont je veux être libérée. Un homme dont je veux m’éloigner autant que mes jambes peuvent me porter. La société qu’il a conçue, ses règles, l’éternel bras de fer…

I’ve seen the way he looks at me. The Captain. The unquestioned leader of this ship. A ship I wish to be free of. A man I want to be as far away from as my legs might carry me. The society he’s designed, the rules, the endless battle of wills. Yes, I’ve seen the way he looks at me. I’ve felt his fingertips brush my skin. Heard his laugh. Experienced his smile. One that’s only for me, and only in secret. And I know what he wants.

The commodore stole her off the streets in broad daylight - the first Omega female discovered in Bernard Dome in generations. He took her with violence while none intervened. He broke her, swearing he’d put her back together. Brenya Perin was ordered to submit. Bernard Dome is the jewel of Europe, a bastion of art and culture, pleasure and decadence. But life in the city depends on the occupation chosen for you at birth. There is no subversion, no question of who rules. There is no freedom.

Le Commodore l’a volée au vu et au su de tous – la première femelle Oméga découverte au Dôme Bernard depuis des générations. Il l’a prise avec violence sans que personne intervienne. Il l’a brisée tout en jurant qu’il recollerait les morceaux. 

Brenya was torn from her service in Beta Sector and reassigned to serve the Commodore of Bernard Dome’s aggressive physical needs. Out of her depth and confused, she flounders under his untried care. The leader of their Dome is as demanding as he is sweet. He is beautiful, and he is treacherous.
