Marcello by Taylor Rylan

When you’re too stubborn to claim your beloved, your coven master just might resort to less than ethical means to make that happen.

Marcello Grassi knew he wasn’t welcome in Treasure Ridge when he was helping the council with a certain assignment, so when he scented his beloved there, he knew not to get excited about what that meant. When he discovered it was the beautiful angel who worked in the council store, he realized he would forever be without his fated beloved when he left the mountain.
Abel Barnes had never known happiness until he was rescued by the paranormal council. Forever grateful for all they’ve done for him, he’s happy working at the council store, waiting until his day comes when his own protective alpha shows up to claim him. What he never expected was to be kidnapped from Timber Valley by a mysterious warlock.
Marcello’s coven master meant well, but kidnapping someone from right under the council’s nose might not have been the smartest move. Abel has no issues with his mate being a vampire, but can he ever accept what it is that his new “family” represents?
Marcello is Book One in the Vittone’s Vampires series. Although this series is in the Universe of Destined Paranormals world, you do not need to read previous books to read this series. Each book in this series will focus on a different couple, and although it is a darker mafia vampire romance series, it is a fated mate story in an MPreg world, and there will be at least one baby. Expect normal vampire shenanigans. And more.
