Instead, she’s twenty-four, freshly graduated, stuck in a soul-crushing 9–5, and wondering where her passion went. Worse? Her Omega clock is ticking. In six weeks, she turns twenty-five. And if she isn’t bonded by then, her parents will choose a pack for her... moreIn six weeks, Mabeline Mae Rose will either find her pack… or be claimed by one she never chose. Once, she believed she’d prove her childhood bullies wrong by becoming a world-class figure skater—graceful, unstoppable, unforgettable.

Desperate to delay the inevitable, Mabeline accepts a six-week placement at an elite new arts-and-sports university for Alphas and Omegas. It’s supposed to buy her time. Maybe even help her rediscover the girl who once lived for the ice. There’s just one problem. Her roommates. Three powerhouse Alphas. All devastatingly attractive. All wildly talented.

And everything her heart is starting to crave. Six weeks. That’s all she has. But in a house full of knotty tension, second chances, and three Alphas who look at her like she’s already theirs, every day feels like a dare. And with Valentine’s Day looming—the same week she turns twenty-five—roses, chocolates, and heart-shaped promises are everywhere… along with the reminder that her time is running out.
