Omega Maya keeps to herself working the fringes of known space to salvage derelict ships and other resources. She wants nothing to do with Alphas, so when Remy shows up at her current salvage operation, she's at first displeased. He soon starts to win her over, but when her suppressant stops working, and he realizes she's an Omega, he's intent on claiming her. Maya doesn't want to be any Alpha's Omega, even Remy's. Can she enjoy the pleasure he offers without surrendering everything she is and believes in or succumbing to her biological imperative to submit? Remy's been searching for his Omega for years, and he's convinced he's found her in Maya. She stirs his need to love and protect, and it pains him that she doesn't want what he's offering. He understands the traumas in her past, but can he help her overcome them to embrace a future together?
