Avery Moore is no stranger to betrayal. As an Omega gun runner, he’s learned not to mix emotions with business. When the Rockfords ask for help, though, Avery is prepared for more than negotiations—he’s ready to settle an old score.
Raphael Rockford, the Alpha who ditched Avery to preserve his family’s reputation, now needs his help and will pay any price. For an Omega like Avery, money takes a backseat to making the man who abandoned him grovel.
But Raphael isn’t just an Alpha. He’s Avery’s Alpha. At least he was until he decided Avery wasn’t good enough. It’s a reminder of the life they could have had, and the pain that defined their end. Avery tells himself he’s only doing this for the money, the power, and the satisfaction of watching Raphael squirm. Yet every charged glance and simmering argument stirs memories Avery thought long buried.
The connection between them isn’t dead. It’s a loaded gun, ready to fire, and Avery finds himself torn between reclaiming his pride and risking his heart for a second shot. Whether Raphael ends up at his side or in the ground, one thing is certain—Avery won’t let him walk away again.
