She’s a bullheaded, devoted daughter who doesn’t have time to entertain ideas of forever and always. He’s a stoic, broody dragon with a laser focused plan and taste for revenge. Busy taking care of her wheelchair-bound father and working multiple jobs to get by, the last thing Posey needs is one more complication in her life. When Kai shows up in her coffee shop, Posey does everything she can to ignore the instant attraction that leaves her reeling. Retreating from civil war in their homeland, Kai and his brothers are forced to leave everything they’ve ever known behind and relocate to a small mountain town in Oregon. Not only did he not expect to find his fated mate in the beautiful firecracker Posey, but when old enemies arrive at Kai’s front door, he finds himself caught between battles as well. Step one, mate his beloved. Step two, find out who is systematically murdering the shifter population in his new home. Step three, protect his new kingdom from their shared enemy and seek vengeance for those they have lost. Seems simple enough, right? Hardly​. Will Posey and Kai’s undeniable connection be enough to give up the fight in order win the war, or does fate have other plans? His Fate, book one of the paranormal romance series Bound Beyond Blood by A. K. Graves, is a riveting tale full of twists and turns, mysterious chance encounters and an unbridled love that only fate could have designed.
