Reluctantly Yours

In a world where social dynamics are still shaped by the invisible hierarchies of alphas, betas, and omegas, Oliver has built his life around one goal: staying unnoticed. Quiet, reserved, and forever tethered to the numbers on his screen, he's content keeping his distance-from people, from risk, from anything resembling vulnerability. But when Lucy, his lifelong best friend and unapologetically bold alpha, crashes into his carefully constructed solitude with an invitation to a masquerade ball and a plan to shake up his stagnant life, Oliver is thrust into a night that could challenge everything he thought he knew about himself-and what he deserves.

Behind the masks and beneath the polished surface of New York's glittering elite, secrets wait to be unraveled. And maybe, just maybe, so does love.
