They built glass walls to study his heat.
They didn't plan for the alpha who would turn their lab into a graveyard.
Lysander Vale is a street omega who survived by never needing anyone-until he's trapped inside a sterile facility where "observation" is just another word for control. Labeled L-17, he's pushed through engineered heats, watched by cameras that record every flinch, every breath, every moment they can twist into compliance.
Then a new handler arrives.
Jax Halden is an alpha enforcer working undercover, posing as the lab's coldest guard while mapping locks, schedules, and the one rumored service tunnel. He has one mission: expose the operation, extract the captives, and disappear before the system notices the cracks. But when he meets Lysander-knife-eyed, unbreakable, and seconds from collapse-Jax realizes the lab isn't just testing omegas. It's accelerating them toward destruction.
In a city washed in winter rain and neon, the facility tightens its grip: one omega, one alpha, one reinforced heat chamber meant to capture "pure" data. Only Jax locks the door from the inside-not to claim, but to protect. And only Lysander dares to turn the chaos of heat into a weapon... stealing keys, opening cells, and refusing to leave anyone behind.
Because the most dangerous thing in that building isn't desire.
It's choice.
As alarms scream and the infamous burn door threatens to seal their fate, Lysander must decide whether freedom means running alone-or risking the one connection that doesn't come with a collar. Jax must prove that strength can be restraint, protection can be permission, and love can be offered without ownership.
Heat Under Glass is a dark, cinematic omegaverse MM romance with a hard-won HEA-where the hottest moments aren't taken... they're chosen.
Open the door. Take a breath. And step into the escape.
