When Omega Dean Winchester meets the Duke Castiel Novak, their marriage breaks all the rules…
Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding and glowering, Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir—which means he needs an omega. When Dean Winchester, a vicar’s Son turned tailor, appears in his library wearing a traditional wedding outfit, Castiel decides on the spot that he’ll do.
His terms are simple:
- They will be Alpha and Omega lovers by night only.
- No lights, no kissing.
- No questions about his battle scars.
- Last, and most importantly… Once he’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.
But Dean is no pushover. He has a few rules of his own:
- They will have dinner together every evening.
- With conversation.
- And unlimited teasing.
- Last, and most importantly… Once he’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop him from falling in love…
A young magic user who wants desperately to live. A jaded recluse who has forgotten what living means. They’re each other’s only chance.
Dean’s wild magic is killing him. The mage guilds have given up on him, and it’s only a matter of time before he dies in a spectacular, catastrophic bang. His only hope is an exiled wizard who lives in seclusion—and is rumored to have lost his mind.
The years alone on his hilltop estate have not been good for Castiel Novak. After the magical accident that disfigured him and nearly destroyed the village, he drifts through his days, a wraith trapped in memories and depression. Until a stricken young man collapses on his driveway, one who claims Castiel is his last chance. For the first time in fifteen years, Castiel must make a choice—leave this wild mage to his fate or take him in and try to teach him, which may kill them both. The old Castiel, brash and commanding, wouldn’t have hesitated. Castiel the exile isn’t sure he can find the energy to try.
