Briar Rose always knew her future was a transaction, but she never expected to be sold into an arranged marriage with the notoriously beastly billionaire, Cillian Blackwood. Thrust into a gothic world of forced proximity, Briar quickly realizes that Cillian isn’t the only monster in the house. She must contend with the hulking, scarred Dane and the callous, sharp-tongued Rhys, three powerful alphas who are as dangerous as they are demanding. This modern-day "Beauty and the Beast" retelling is a high-stakes, why-choose romance that thrives on atmosphere and tension. Briar, a fierce "black-cat" ballerina, refuses to be a passive pawn in the Blackwood games. Instead, she fights back with a sharp wit that matches her mates' intensity. As the lines between captor and protector blur, Briar discovers that their twisted torments are rapidly evolving into her deepest, most forbidden desires. Featuring a perfect blend of dark angst and sweet devotion, the story explores the magnetic pull between a woman who refuses to break and the three beasts who find themselves unable to stay away. With its unique omegaverse dynamics—including the rare, thrilling inclusion of an omega bark—this tale is an addictive, moody journey toward an inevitable and hard-won happily ever after.
