Prime Prey. The Nations of Peace, #6

Adriana D'Amour enjoyed the hunting game because it brought some excitement to her ordinary life. But a new job was on the horizon and she decided to retire after the next game. Packed and ready to move to Wea One, her life was suddenly disrupted by the stand-in hunter. Jarod le Croix lived a full life as the bodyguard and business partner to the leader of the vampires. When he agreed to be the last minute replacement in a hunting game, he had never expected to meet his soul-mate.
Like all vampires the desire for that special relationship was genetically ingrained, but seldom found. Until the prey of the hunting game on New Earth. Although meeting Adriana and recognising her as his soul-mate was a delightful surprise, he was now caught between the woman he wanted and the woman he was obliged to marry. But he couldn't ignore the attraction or the need to take her to mate. After spending one night together, Adriana woke up to the realisation that Jarod had made a choice that would forever change any relationship he could have with another woman.
But he also left her with the choice of having his baby or not. A decision that wasn't as simple as yes or no. A vampire baby needed its father even before birth. But once she made her decision, the lives of many people changed course in unforeseen ways. Would Jarod get the family he had always wanted or were outside forces going to deny him that chance forever?
