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?

Alpha Ryder isn?t looking for an Omega, but when he sees Daisy being auctioned to the highest bidder, he can?t resist bidding on her. Before he knows it, he?s spent a year?s earnings to buy the Omega. He offers her the choice of returning home, but she needs to mate desperately. Barely managing to resist claiming her, he?s shocked when she pulls him into a desperate rescue attempt to save her fellow Omega, who was also sold. Pursuing the buyers, Ryder sees the promise and possibility of a future with his Omega, but does Daisy even want such a thing, or will she choose her cloistered life at the Omega convent over being claimed by an Alpha?

Azaria and Daisy were both kidnapped from their Omega convent and sold at a Klinok auction. The two are separated, sold to different buyers, with Daisy landing in a good situation. Daisy?s Alpha, Ryder, helps rescue Azaria, and after Quinn Strang assists Azaria during her forced estrus at his brother?s request, they go their separate ways. She doesn?t expect to see him again, but when the gangster who originally bought her tracks her to Paladin, she has no choice but to call him for help. Quinn recruits his brother and Ryder?s friend, Remy, to help rescue the Omega he walked away from weeks ago. He hasn?t stopped thinking about her, and once he rescues her from Aldrich Garros, he?s going to do what he should have done then?claim her despite all the reasons he didn?t the first time.
