Rory's Mate (The Vampire Coalition Book 2)

This is "Rory's Mate" Book 2 of The Vampire Coalition. If you haven't read "Ethan's Mate" Book 1, I would highly recommend reading it first. Although these are complete stories, you will miss much of the previous information on the nature of my vampires if they aren't read in order and you may get lost. There is also a short prelude "The Rough Mating Of A Vampire" that is an erotic short about Adare and Kristin. It's an optional story. ********************************* Callie Marks never knew that when she had caught the bouquet at her best friend's wedding ... she would also meet her destiny in the same place. Rory Hale was the nicest, sweetest man she had ever met. He was also the most unattainable. Gorgeous, rich and smart, Rory would never be interested in her. He wouldn't go for a plump, boring woman that was a chef and suffered from the rejections of her past. Who wanted a foundling that had never even known who her parents were? Little did she know ... he was very interested. Unfortunately, he was also a vampire who was ruled by destiny in the mating department. His mate would not be his choice. Rory Hale had liked Callie Marks since he had met her at his brother's wedding. Although he couldn't feel desire for anyone except his true mate, he and Callie had a connection. They became cautious friends and he wished he could offer her more. Underneath his confident exterior, Rory had his own insecurities, but Callie seemed to think he was special. His heart said yes ... but his body was unresponsive. Until he touched her and discovered she was his mate! Rory was battered by mating instincts and his need to possess and dominate Callie . Could Callie ever except who she really was and what it meant to be the mate of a vampire? The guardian of his soul. Rory is determined to convince her ... in any way possible!
