The Bouchers
Fated mates? Too bad they can’t stand each other.
Reese Matthews doesn’t believe in fairy tales—especially not the kind that involve vampires and fated mates. She prefers her life simple: work, friends, and absolutely no supernatural drama. But when an infuriatingly gorgeous vampire strides into her job and sends her body into overdrive with a single glance, everything she thought she knew is turned upside down.
Beaumont Boucher has waited over a century to find his mate again. But this time, fate must have gotten it wrong. Reese is nothing like the woman he lost—the one he walked away from in another life. She’s sharp-tongued, stubborn, and completely unimpressed by his brooding vampire charm. He should leave her alone. But the bond between them is relentless… and the longer he stays away, the worse the craving gets.
While Beau fights the impossible pull toward Reese, his family is reeling from a devastating loss. As the Bouchers hunt for answers, darkness looms—and Reese is caught in the crossfire. With enemies closing in and their connection becoming impossible to ignore, Beau must decide: will he risk his heart—and Reese’s life—for a second chance at fate?
When destiny refuses to be denied, can two enemies find love in the ashes of a past they never shared?
A bond neither asked for. A war they never saw coming.
Ambrose Boucher isn’t looking for love—he’s looking for blood. After the brutal murder of his younger brother, vengeance is all that fuels him. Step one: track down the mysterious mate his brother died protecting. Step two: burn the shadowy organization behind it all to the ground. But fate has other plans. Instead of Zeke’s mate, Ambrose finds his own—and she’s the last person ready to believe in destiny.
Lucille Franklin knows exactly what being a vampire’s mate means. She watched her brother fall headfirst into a bond that was beautiful… until it turned tragic. With vampires being hunted and their mates targeted, Lucy swore she’d never let herself get pulled into that world. But Ambrose is impossible to ignore—relentless, dangerous, and already tangled in the grief that nearly broke her once before.
As the Bouchers dig deeper into a deadly conspiracy, Lucy and Ambrose are forced to rely on a bond she never wanted and a connection he can’t control. But when enemies close in and secrets unravel, trusting each other might be the only way to survive.
Can a love forged in loss be strong enough to rewrite fate—or will history repeat itself in blood?

Even if he has to fight her for it.
Patrick Gallagher’s future was mapped out—and it didn’t include Amy Henderson or the IRA.

Then he catches sight of Molly Duncan across a crowded bar.

She’d also been his nurse on the worst night of his life.

A few years later, they’re thrown together when the Aces and Eights Motorcycle Club goes on lockdown.

I grew up hearing about my parents’ love story. How he’d fought for her when she’d refused to fight for herself. The way she’d fought for him when she’d feared that all was lost.
I wanted that.
But for some reason, I’d always imagined that my love story would be different. That it would be easy.
It wasn’t.
No, our story was intense, and convoluted, and frustrating.
But it was ours.
In the end it all came down to one thing…
I’d loved him since the very beginning.
Even when he wasn’t mine to love.
I, Rose Hawthorne, have crap taste in men.
But, who could blame me, really?
When the stories of how your dad and uncles raised hell before settling down are legendary, it was all too easy to see Prince Charming everywhere, believing that if a man loved me enough, he’d change.
What a load of garbage.
I was tired of the game, almost as tired as I was of being the only single adult at every family barbecue.
But you know what they say, the moment you stop looking, the right one finds you.
