Fate & Fang by Nicole Jacquelyn

He’d do anything to protect her. She just wants him to stay.

Daniel Boucher has waited over a century to find his fated mate. The moment he hears Rosemary Whitlock’s voice, he knows—she’s it. Smart, capable, and already entangled in vampire affairs, Rosemary is nothing like the fragile human he expected. But with mates being hunted and war brewing in the shadows, Daniel will do whatever it takes to protect her, even if that means keeping her at a distance.
What he doesn’t see is how much that distance is tearing them apart.
Rosemary isn’t new to this world. With mated vampire-human godparents and a lifetime of witnessing what real bonded partnerships look like, Daniel’s sudden disappearances feel less like protection and more like rejection. She’s not the type to sit back and wait to be rescued—and she won’t let herself be left behind.
As the Bouchers close in on a deadly truth, love and loyalty are tested from every side. And if Daniel and Rosemary can’t bridge the growing rift between them, their bond may not survive what’s coming.
Is fate enough to hold them together when everything else is pulling them apart?
