Valerie Moyer never believed vampires existed until a fanged psychopath kidnaps her. She escapes her bloodthirsty captor but finds herself under the protection of Anders, a darkly handsome immortal. Anders insists she is his destined life mate, a concept Valerie refuses to accept. She wants nothing more to do with creatures of the night after her terrifying ordeal. Anders felt an instant connection when he first held Valerie's bruised body in his arms. Now he must hunt down the vampire who nearly destroyed her while convincing the stubborn woman to trust him. Valerie fights Anders at every turn, making his mission more difficult. The green-eyed beauty proves worth the challenge as Anders discovers that claiming his life mate requires more than destiny. He must win her heart while protecting her from the darkness that still threatens them both.
