Unexpected Fates: Standalone Vampire Soulmates Novella (Soulmates Suck) - Cara Rivers

A smuggler vampire, a university student, and a runaway train—what could possibly go wrong?

History major Thomas planned to spend his last holiday before graduation exploring the oldest wall in Scotland. But his peaceful journey shatters when a man crashes through his train window… and promptly kidnaps him.

For a thousand years, Ketill has devoted himself to mischief, mayhem, and whatever fun he can sink his fangs into. Snatching a dragon egg from shifters is easy. Fighting them on top of a moving train is just another thrilling tale in the making. But crashing straight into his soulmate mid-battle? That sends him spinning.

Even so, Ketill has no plans of letting go of his unexpected treasure.

Before Thomas can demand an explanation, Ketill slings him over his shoulder and bolts. Suddenly, they’re outrunning a pack of furious shifters, battling Scotland’s icy wilderness, and trying to stop a train using a YouTube tutorial that won’t stop playing ads.

Between danger, dragon eggs, and steaming chemistry, can a gentle historian and a thrill-seeking vampire learn to trust the destiny that’s thrown them together?

Or are their fates about to derail completely?
