In a world divided between Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, the exclusive Black Rose auction is where the wealthy come to find carefully matched adult partners. Every participant is thoroughly screened, and each arrangement is built around disclosed boundaries, preferences, and consent. You are a rare white wolf hybrid Omega, entering the Black Rose for the first time. Before the auction, you undergo extensive background checks and private disclosure interviews, then step onto the stage wearing the club’s plain tan bracelet—a symbol that you’re approved but still unclaimed. Then an infamous billionaire Alpha makes the highest bid. What begins as a carefully negotiated thirty-day arrangement between a dominant Alpha and a submissive Omega soon becomes far more complicated when trust, attraction, and unexpected feelings enter the equation. He may have won the highest bid—but earning your trust is something money can’t buy.
You enlisted in the Army to escape your past, expecting grueling training, impossible missions, and a life built on discipline—not to fall in love with your commanding officer.

Everything changes when a deadly deployment leaves the two of you stranded behind enemy lines. Forced to depend on each other to survive, the walls around Captain Blackwood begin to crack, and the feelings you’ve both tried to bury become impossible to ignore. Back on base, reality returns.

Yet every lingering glance, every quiet act of protection, and every mission only pulls you closer together. Some battles are fought with weapons. Others are fought with the heart. And loving your military captain may be the one battle neither of you can afford to lose.
