An alpha male vampire is about to get a second chance at love in this paranormal romance novella from a New York Times–bestselling author.   Caleb Donovan was never meant to be a prophet. At heart he's a conqueror with appetites far more carnal than spiritual. He's not inclined to repress his passions and surrender to fate. After all, that's what cost him Lily—three centuries ago. She married another, because it was ordained. Now that he's in the same benighted calling—and forced into proximity with her—all the old desires are roaring back to life… After widowhood and centuries of celibacy, Lily is eager to explore the wild side of life, except now she's vulnerable to another forced relationship, with an enemy. This time she's determined to choose her own path. And if hot, furious Caleb comes charging to the rescue, it might just change both their destinies…   Praise for the Dark Protectors Series “If you want hot, sexy, dangerous romance…this series is for you.”—Paranormal Haven “Hot and fast from beginning to end.”—Kate Douglas on Fated “Sizzling sex scenes and a memorable cast.”—Publishers Weekly on Claimed
