Rance. Ohio Vampires, #3

He didn't want a mate. She didn't want a vampire. Too bad fate didn't ask. Rance Smith has lived for centuries-and he likes his life exactly the way it is: controlled, quiet, and very far away from humans. The last thing he needs is a stubborn, sharp-tongued woman crashing into his world.and turning it upside down. Kimmy Hamilton has spent her life fighting to survive. When a sudden inheritance changes everything, the last thing she expects is a dangerously arrogant man claiming she belongs to him.
A vampire, no less. They clash. They argue. They refuse to back down. But when a brutal attack nearly costs Kimmy her life, Rance is forced to do the one thing he swore he never would-risk everything to save her. Now bound by blood, magic, and a connection neither of them understands, walking away is no longer an option. And something far more dangerous is coming. Rance's past isn't done with him-and it wants Kimmy dead.
Thrown together by fate and hunted by a ruthless enemy, they'll have to decide:keep fighting each other.or fight for each other. Because in a world of vampires, magic, and deadly secrets.love might be the most dangerous thing of all.
