Protecting His Vampire Mate

BRYANAfter everything I’ve done, I don’t deserve love. Especially not from Tobias Hawthorne-the brave, gorgeous, annoyingly perfect warlock who insists he’s my fated mate.Actually, I might already be halfway in love with him, but Tobias doesn’t need to know that. Because it can’t happen. I can’t put him in danger. Not when I’ve hurt so many people already. Instead, I’ll use this darkness to hunt monsters and make the world a safer place. Love doesn’t factor in. And if I just keep telling myself that, maybe someday I’ll believe it.TOBIASAt fourteen, I cast a spell to see the face of my fated mate. I never expected it to be a vampire. And I denied it for years. Then I met Bryan, and my world made sense for the first time. Until he left.It’s fine. I’m the coven’s go-to warlock for banishing big bads. Work keeps me distracted. Except when it doesn’t. Which is always. But Bryan needs space, and I’ll give him anything he needs, even if it hurts. But then a demon shows me a future where Bryan dies. I have to protect him, no matter the cost. He doesn’t want a warlock bodyguard. Too bad. I’m not going anywhere, even if saving him makes him hate me.Protecting His Vampire Mate is a 90,000-word MM paranormal romance novel featuring a golden retriever warlock who just wants to protect his mate, a stand-offish vampire who needs ALL of the love, only one bed, haunted houses and spooky ghosts that need to be banished, overcoming trauma, spicy scenes, lots of magic, and a guaranteed happily ever after with no cliffhanger.
