Joy Landon comes from a long line of betas, and she's about to become one too. Now that she’s old enough, Joy’s parents send her from their home in Manhattan to the pretentious Briar Lake Prep where her family has revealed for generations. Briar Lake is in the middle of nowhere and Joy plans to hightail back to civilization as soon as her reveal ceremony is over. So when she unexpectedly reveals as an omega and has to stay in Briar Lake for the courting season, she is not going down without a fight. She’s not going to court alphas, and she’s definitely not going to submit to one. That’s some patriarchal nonsense. It turns out the alphas aren’t too bad, though. Sure, they’re handsome, but they’re also sweet and funny. The kind of men Joy would have chosen for herself anyway. But Joy is too independent for the structure of the Season and the presumption that instincts rule over personal choice. When she sees a way to choose her own future, can she successfully break years of tradition?
