One hunt.One contract.One omega who was never meant to be the target. Deveon Karr didn’t enter The Chase for love. He entered for the money—enough to escape the gilded cage he’s been trapped in for four long years. Fifty thousand to run. A quarter million to be claimed. One bite, one bond, and he can finally buy his freedom. He didn’t account for the alpha with pine on his skin and fire in his eyes.Or the way his body answers him like it’s been waiting its whole life.Or the second hunter who isn’t chasing to claim. Jae-hyun Farmer didn’t come to The Chase for romance. He came to satisfy a contract and disappear again. But the sharp-tongued omega who calls him a lost cow brands himself into Jae’s instincts in a single breath. One scent, and nothing else matters. Except someone else is tracking Deveon.Someone patient.Someone trained. The preserve was meant for spectacle.Not for blood. As heat rises and a storm rolls in, survival forces them into the same fight. Deveon runs on independence. Jae hunts on instinct. And the man stalking them both doesn’t care about bonding bonuses or happily-ever-afters. Because this hunt was never just about mating. It was about silencing the omega who wasn’t supposed to survive. A dark MM omegaverse romance featuring forced proximity, survival heat, hidden pasts, military-trained hunters, contract coercion, blizzard-bound tension, and an alpha who will tear down the entire game to protect what’s his. HEA guaranteed.
