Parliamentary aide Joseph Richmond is aghast when his boss quits and he's reassigned to work with Zac Hawkesford, the newly-appointed Minister for Preventing Abuse and Exploitation. Zac is an Alpha, and as every omega knows, Alphas do not belong in government. He's also way too handsome and far too distracting for Joseph's peace of mind. Afraid of giving up control and losing himself to Alpha demands, Joseph tries to fight the attraction between them. But as they work together on a bill to ban legal highs, he realises Zac isn't like any other Alpha he's encountered... and one day, Joseph discovers why. The revelation changes everything between them, prompting him to admit some uncomfortable truths of his own -- and to finally face his fears of surrendering to an Alpha.
