After months of forbidden attraction, Alpha apprentice Rowena and her master Callum surrender to desire in a night of passion that shatters every boundary between them.
Even as their bodies join, Callum is tormented by self-disgust and shame. What kind of master takes his student? What monster finds perfect pleasure in another Alpha's body?
As dawn approaches, Callum faces an impossible choice, embrace the forbidden connection that feels right, or retreat behind walls of duty and denial.
Callum is an Alpha knight with everything to lose and secrets he can’t bury. Trained to lead, to fight, and to bond with Omegas, he’s haunted by instincts that don’t fit the mold. His body wants something forbidden. His heart wants someone he should never touch.
Rowena is his apprentice. Sharp-tongued, relentless, and always ready to push back, she challenges his authority at every turn. What starts as tension in the training yard burns into something darker behind closed doors. With every stolen moment, guilt sinks its claws deeper.
From bloodstained missions to nights laced with too many unspoken things, their bond twists into something neither of them can fully control. She’s the only one who sees him clearly. He’s the only one who makes her feel truly wanted. But duty never stops calling.
When a ghost from Callum’s past reappears and an unpredictable Omega bride throws herself into the mix, everything starts to crack. Between jealousy, secrets, and a choice that could change everything, desire becomes both a weapon and a weakness.
Callum evolves from a repressed, guilt-ridden Alpha into someone starting to confront the truth he fears most. Rowena grows from defiant apprentice into a woman who won’t be hidden, silenced, or used. Together, they teeter between destruction and something dangerously close to love.
A forbidden, tension-filled omegaverse romance. Identity, forbidden desire, power imbalance, secrecy, jealousy, guilt, emotional repression, duty vs. want, consequences. No one walks away clean. Need more...
As training continues, so do the complications with Master Callum and Apprentice Rowana. Will they be able to bridge their issues without killing each other? Will they succumb to the erotic pull between them? Will there be surprises around the corner? Read on!.

ALPHA KNIGHTS II is the second book in the series of the same name and follows on from the first book, so you need to read that one first.
Rowena is back as an Alpha Knight-in-Training, with Callum as her Master. The problem is, she's had a night with him and wants more, whereas he just seems to want to forget about it. Through a sequence of events, they come up with a way to be together anyway, but that all changes when they are charged with escorting a temple-trained omega to her new home.
There is more tension between them and what seems to be insurmountable odds. The ending wasn't unexpected, but it has definitely left me wanting the next book immediately. I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up with these two and can't wait for their story to continue.
As with the first book, I read this in one sitting and can't wait to read more in this series. Definitely recommended by me.

Master Callum and Rowena are struggling with their growing attraction for each other. It was inevitable that they would finally give in and explore the chemistry that had been building for a long time. Callum fights so much within himself, the guilt of his desires, and finally gives in to them. This story has many levels and other characters that make the plot so good—an excellent book with a perfect HEA.

★ “This was simple. Her pleasure. His devotion.” ★
The barrier to their forbidden desires crumble when they can no longer deny their attraction to each other. But soon, Callum feels the weight of responsibility as Rowena's master and oscillates between desire and duty. Their tale will continue in the next installment, and we will see just what comes to fruition as they try to hold to their agreement as trainer and trainee in a very rigid society of knights.
A relatively quick read, I read it over two night. Probably could have finished it in one, but I started it after finishing another book the first night. While aspects of it were predictable, I still enjoyed this story.

- Incredible and original series Must read book 1 first. I am finding this original storyline intriguing and captivating. Great characters that grow on you, a seamless world-building, and a wonderful concept. Beautifully written. I am looking forward to the next thrilling instalment.

I knew it was only a matter of time before things exploded between Rowena and Master Callum. I'd like to know if she ever finds out about his connection to her brother. And the Cliffhanger that left off on I had a sneaking suspicion that was going to happen. Now I can't wait to see how they navigate that.

I thought this was a great book. It had chemistry and some steamy parts . This book gave some background on Callum’s past. I can’t wait for part three to read.

We learn more about Callum and his past in this sequel. He and Rowena are both headstrong alphas but they eventually let the attraction they both feel take its course. Of course that leaves unexpected consequences neither one is ready for.
I thought this book was well written and I couldn't put it down and Beatrix Arden did it again and I can't wait to read more. This is the second book in this series. I recommend this book.

Intense, vulnerable, spicy. So much was packed into this one. Old insecurities. Undeniable attraction. Love the alternative universe of paranormal life as the backdrop. Awaiting what’s next.
