My fated mate is a grumpy jerk. But the colder he acts toward me, the hotter I get for him. I covered my bedroom in ice and set the kitchen table on fire all in one day. Before I know it, I arrive at the Empyrean Academy to learn to control my powers. Nathaniel is my grouchy classmate and son of the academy's wealthy benefactors. His permanent scowl and dismissive words test my happy disposition. But those mysterious hazel eyes and his sculpted biceps get me hot and bothered. After a passionate kiss, he tells me to stay away from him... Until he’s undressing me in his dorm room, proclaiming, “You’re mine.” A secret destiny forces us to fight an evil force together, but if we fail, the academy will be left in smoldering ruins... And so will our love. My Fated Protector is a paranormal academy romance about 18+ aged college students. You can expect a grumpy hero, sunshine heroine, good versus evil, fated mates, and secret destinies with a happily ever after. This book is a standalone novel.
