Vampire Soldier by Rowan Hart

A vampire protector. A fake claim. One night that changes everything.

I came to the Barrows looking for my twin. I didn’t expect to run into trouble—or rescued by a brooding dark vampire knight who tells everyone I belong to him.
Malachi’s “claim” is fake, meant to scare off a stalker. But the way he kisses me that night? There’s nothing fake about it.
I leave without giving him my name, convinced it was a one-time spark we’ll both forget.
Until I walk into my new job at a burlesque theater… and Malachi is my boss.
Working together was never part of the plan. Neither was the way he watches me like he wants more. But I’ve got my daughter to think about—and letting a vampire into our lives? That’s a risk I can’t take.
Then the stalker comes back, and Malachi offers us shelter. Safety. Protection. And something I haven’t had in a long time: the chance to feel wanted—for real.
Vampires. Single mom. Protective boss. One fake claim that might just turn into forever.
