I didn't want him for Monroe; I wanted him for me. Rumer Ambrose didn't make mistakes. He'd been studying to be the Keeper of the Bloodlines his whole life, and after Lavinia Lawrence died, he returned home to take his rightful place. One mating contract written before the couple was born tore apart a mating and nearly killed the Priest. Ramone Greer gave up a lot in the last six years. He quit school for his brother, ran a motel he didn't want, and took over his duties as the Priest, which left him no time for himself. Milo Baine became the brightest spot in his life until Rumer Ambrose breezed into town and took Milo away from him. Ramone has six weeks to find a new mate, or the magic will bleed him to death. Rumer is hot, sweet, funny, and very protective. He also ripped Ramone's life to shreds. Rumer keeps asking, and in desperation, Ramone finally accepts. Their mating unravels Monroe's secrets one by one and sets up a brand new era for Monroe. Rumer and Ramone are unfated mates in uncharted territory, learning to be themselves in and out of the...stairwell.
