He collects trash for a living. Before sunrise, he's collecting her. Rook Slater is big, brutal, and permanently grumpy. By day, he's a garbage man. By night, he plays hockey and keeps the world at arm's length. Until the fated mate bond strikes hard and fast. One look at Kylie Moon-right after his twenty-eighth birthday-and destiny snaps into place. She's his. There's just one problem. Her blood is rare-coveted-and the monsters in the shadows want to claim her. Evil. Elite. Powerful. These are the kind of men who stop at nothing to have what they want. But Rook Slater doesn't lose what's his. And he certainly doesn't bend the knee. He's good at taking out the trash-and these monsters are next. Once fate locks in, Rook won't just fight for the woman he loves. He'll kidnap and kill for her.
