Rance

He didn’t want a mate.

She didn’t want a vampire.

Too bad fate didn’t ask.

Rance Smith has lived for centuries—and he likes his life exactly the way it is: controlled, quiet, and very far away from humans. The last thing he needs is a stubborn, sharp-tongued woman crashing into his world…and turning it upside down.

Kimmy Hamilton has spent her life fighting to survive. When a sudden inheritance changes everything, the last thing she expects is a dangerously arrogant man claiming she belongs to him. A vampire, no less.

They clash. They argue. They refuse to back down.

But when a brutal attack nearly costs Kimmy her life, Rance is forced to do the one thing he swore he never would—risk everything to save her. Now bound by blood, magic, and a connection neither of them understands, walking away is no longer an option.

And something far more dangerous is coming.

Rance’s past isn’t done with him—and it wants Kimmy dead.

Thrown together by fate and hunted by a ruthless enemy, they’ll have to decide:

keep fighting each other…

or fight for each other.

Because in a world of vampires, magic, and deadly secrets…love might be the most dangerous thing of all.
