Vampires in America Series

Malibu, California--home to rock-and-roll gods and movie stars, the beautiful, the rich . . . and vampires. Powerful and charismatic, Raphael is a Vampire Lord, one of the few who hold the power of life and death over every vampire in existence. Thousands call him Master and have pledged absolute loyalty on their very lives. But when, in a brazen and deadly daylight attack, a gang of human killers kidnaps the one female vampire he'd give his life for, Raphael turns to a human investigator to find his enemies before it's too late. Cynthia Leighton is smart, tough, and sexy--a private investigator and former cop who's tired of spying on cheating spouses and digging out old bank accounts. When Raphael asks for her help in tracking down the kidnappers, Cyn's happy to accept. But she soon realizes her greatest danger comes not from the humans, but from Raphael himself. Battling Russian mobsters and treacherous vampires and betrayed by those they trusted, Cyn and Raphael find themselves fighting for their lives while caught up in a passion of blood and violence that is destined to destroy them both.

TREACHERY . . . Something the powerful Vampire Lord Raphael has seen far too much of lately. RAGE . . . An emotion that, left unchecked, can burn like the fires of hell. REVENGE . . . A dish that philosophers claim is best served cold. It's been months since the powerful French vampire Mathilde used Raphael's arrogance against him and nearly succeeded in taking his life. His fury has grown stronger with every day since, fed by new bloody incursions onto North American soil by the Europeans, while vampire politicking has forced him to wait. But no longer. Someone has attacked his home, killing vampires, threatening Cyn. They've taken it one step too far, and Raphael's tired of waiting. His enemies are about to discover that revenge can taste damn good when it's hot, too. D. B.

He and his mate Cynthia have spent years achieving that, fighting everyone else’s battles, along with their own. Now, all they want is a vacation. A getaway to someplace romantic and secluded. No guards, no supplicants, no phonesâ€"just the two of them with their deep love and endless desire for each other. If only they hadn’t taken a quick detour to that particular town. Because they soon discover that vampires are dead, and another is missing. And it’s Raphael’s duty to serve justice to the wronged and vengeance upon the guilty, regardless of his plans. It turns out there really is no rest for the wicked. Author Bio: D. B.

Love. Loyalty. Betrayal. Love . . . the ache in your heart when you meet The One. It can take you to soaring heights; it can leave you bleeding in the wreckage. Loyalty . . . the thing which binds a Vampire Lord to his children for eternity . . . unless it spoils from within, birthing hatred. Betrayal . . . it comes in many forms and from many sources. War has come to the North American vampires, and Vampire Lords are reaching across territorial lines to strengthen allies and weaken enemies. The most powerful Lord of them all, Raphael, could change the course of the war and determine who raises the final banner of victory. But at what price? And will his mate, Cyn, be the one to pay it?

ALLEGIANCE . . . the ties that bind. Friendship, duty, blood. TREACHERY . . . when friendship is abused, duty turns to burden, and blood is not enough. UNFORGIVEN . . . because there are some things that can never be forgotten. Allegiance . . . Treachery . . . Unforgiven. War is imminent, and a spy has infiltrated Raphael's estate. But his target is not Raphael; it's his sister, Alexandra, whose earlier duplicity nearly cost Cyn her life. Raphael and Cyn are determined to play the spy's game, traveling to Mexico to discover who their enemy is and just how far he'll go to win. But once Raphael finds his sister, can he take the chance that she won't betray him again?
