Born with all the vampire weaknesses and none of the gifts, I have little to offer my family—until my father, the prince, is poisoned. Only dragon tears will heal him, and the dragons are desperate for female mates. So, I'm offered as a sacrifice. Dumped in dragon territory in the Scottish Highlands, I'm quickly captured by Bram McGregor and Fergus Devlin. It's my body in exchange for the tears, and it doesn't matter how I feel about the trade. But as time passes, I feel a lot more than I expected.

I'd finally given up on having a family of my own. Until ex-con Jake Brand walks in. He's six-foot-five of ink and muscle and the farthest thing from a family man. He's also leaving in a few weeks. So, when he offers to help out—in my restaurant and in my bed—I cave in and say yes. But I've got rules, strict ones, to keep everything between us clear: No touching. No kissing. No emotion. And the lights stay off. Always. Except, it turns out, dirty-talking Jake doesn't do rules. He busts through them one by one, and every time, he cracks another piece of the shell protecting my heart.

As for love? That ship sailed a long time ago. So why is it so hard to keep these three men at arm's length? Ben, my best friend's brother, was only meant to be an uncomplicated party hook-up. Aleks, the broody beta who I'm certain only tolerates me. Not to mention "Ryder," the OnlyA's alpha I've started collaborating with. It's easier to ignore what's between us if I don't find out his real name.

I've spent my life dreaming of soulmates and storybook endings—of finding a pack, an omega, a place to belong. But that kind of ending? It was never meant for someone like me. Pastel sweaters.
