Don Rafael Perez has been a vampire for seven centuries. He
is grateful to have loved his wife and children before he
became a vampire, but love is not a luxury he will ever
have again. After suffering centuries of torture, Don
Rafael has become the leader of vampires from Texas to
Oklahoma. But a war is about to begin and Don Rafael must
defend his territory.
Grania O'Malley has finally finished school and is the
veterinarian at Texas Hill Country Raptor Center, and she
is planning to start dating again. Intrigued with each
other as soon as their eyes meet, Don Rafael and Grania
embark on a romance neither one truly expected.
BOND OF BLOOD is hot and exciting. If you like sexy vampire
stories, I highly recommend you read this one.
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...
