For the first time, author Diane Whiteside
introduces you to a world of indescribable sensuality
in which vampires roam the contemporary Western landscape-
building their brotherhood, protecting their territory, and
feeding off the frenzy of desire...
Once a medieval Spanish knight, Don Rafael Perez has been a
vampire for seven centuries, clinging to his code of honor
despite years of torture. He has risen to become the leader
of the largest vampire territory in North America, spanning
Texas and Oklahoma. But a cruel and seductively cunning
rival is challenging his rule-fanning the flames of all-out
war.
Adept at sending women into raptures of ecstasy while he
feeds, Rafael has many willing lovers. But into his domain
comes a woman he must deny himself: Grania O'Malley, a new
veterinarian at the world-renowned Texas Hill Country
Raptor Center. Rafael soon realizes he shares a bond with
Grania he can't explain and doesn't trust. But neither can
he stay away from her.
Grania, convinced that she can find a suitable husband
through scientific research, has no explanation for why her
body turns to molten fire at the mere sight of Rafael-or
why her very existence tempts him into breaking every rule
of both his body and his mind just when he needs to be
stronger than ever...
