He’ll demolish what stands in the way of her. Even if it’s an empire. Calloway Slater is quiet, methodical, and the kind of man who makes his living tearing things apart with steady hands and zero hesitation. But in the last two weeks, things have taken a dramatic shift. His brothers are mated. The Elite Council of Vampires wants them dead. And their uncle is playing a dangerous game Cal doesn’t trust. Now, because of an ultimatum, he’s standing at the auction—as a participant. As vampires gather and naïve human women swoon, Cal races the clock to bring the whole thing down before it’s too late. But when he meets the eyes of beautiful Romy Spencer in the middle of it all, the bond detonates. Suddenly, this isn’t about survival. It’s about her. And if saving Romy means reducing the elite empire to rubble—or getting killed in the process—so be it. Because once destiny ignites, Calloway Slater doesn’t surrender. He destroys.
