December
by Merel Pierce
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A rare M/F omegaverse with a genuinely compelling captivity romance. December is no wilting flower — she is feral, resilient, and fights back. Nikolai is the kind of morally grey alpha who earns every ounce of trust. The omegaverse worldbuilding is seamlessly woven into a mafia setting, and the chemistry is scorching.
