York Malone is no ordinary vampire. As the vampire slayer, he’s spent centuries enforcing the council’s laws and destroying rogues who prey on humans. Powerful, wealthy, and more than a little set in his ways, York has no interest in changing his life for anyone.
Then Rose MacIntyre walks into it.
Rose is a talented mechanic with a sharp tongue, an independent streak, and no patience for the arrogant man who insists he owns the cars she’s been hired to repair. She certainly doesn’t believe his ridiculous claim that he’s a vampire—and she has enough problems already. Her violent father and brother have made her life a constant battle, and Rose learned long ago that the only person she can depend on is herself.
But York knows something Rose doesn’t.
She’s his mate.
Keeping her safe awakens every protective instinct he possesses, but convincing Rose that she belongs at his side may prove harder than killing any rogue vampire. She doesn’t need a savior; she refuses to be controlled, and the more York pushes, the harder she pushes back.
Yet the attraction between them is impossible to deny, and when danger closes in, Rose may discover that trusting York could change her life forever.
A vampire slayer has finally met his match—and she has no intention of surrendering without a fight.
