A curvy librarian, a fake date, and a mysterious masquerade ball that changes everything…

Belle Hartwell loves books, chocolate, and a quiet life as Willowbrook’s head librarian. The last thing she wants is to be matched with a pack at the town’s most exclusive social event, otherwise she will be made to leave her beloved library and become a breeding machine! A fate that seems inevitable for all omegas, even late bloomers like herself.
When the mysterious annual Masquerade Ball returns to the abandoned Thornfield Palace, Belle strikes a deal with her childhood best friend and beta, Adam. The plan: fake date at the ball, dodge the matchmaking ceremonies, and silence the town gossips. Simple, right?
But nothing is simple when an unexpected tornado traps Belle with three beastly unmated alphas that constantly visit the library but never borrow a book.
Now Belle must navigate more than just the storm raging outside, because she can’t stay away from the three alphas. She’s trapped with Marcus’s commanding presence, Felix’s quiet intensity, and Dante’s playful charm.
Belle’s carefully constructed walls are crumbling faster than her suppressants, like pages torn from a spine. And when her omega nature finally breaks free, Belle discovers that some books can’t prepare you for the reality of finding your fated pack, or the courage it takes to claim your own happily ever after.
