Rafe and the Redhead (Real Vampires) - Softcover

Who says dogs and cats don't get along? Ever since Valdez stopped being in dog form as vampire Glory St. Clair's bodyguard, I'd been itching to know more about his background and his affair with a were-cat. Now that Glory has married long-time lover Jeremy Blade, I knew it was time to give Rafe his own story. He's from a clan of shape-shifters who live on one of the Canary Islands. He left there centuries ago when he had a falling out with his grandfather, the clan leader. Now he's called back to help find the person who poisoned the old man. Bad timing with his woman Lacy about to give birth to triplets. I had great fun putting these two characters together. And of course I had to throw in a villainess who you will absolutely hate. Hope fans of the Real Vampires series will enjoy learning more about Rafael Valdez. And if the ending intriques you, don't worry, I think there should be more stories coming about this strong, way too sexy man.

Dogs and Cats shouldn't play well together ...
But Rafe Valdez, who earned his living for years acting the dog as a vampire's bodyguard, is hot for were-cat Lacy Devereau. And the heat between them has had consequences. Now they're expecting triplets and he knows he should step up and give her a ring and a commitment. He's ready, sure he is. But his timing is off and he's called home to his family's clan right after he pops the big question. His grandfather has been poisoned and the clan hopes the family shape-shifter with demon powers will go after the woman who's responsible. 
Lacy loves Rafe and wants to marry him. But she's afraid he still carries a torch for the vampire he'd protected for five long years. She wants some reassurances from her lover. Before he can give them to her, he's taken away at gunpoint. When she goes into labor, he's not at her side. No, he's across the Atlantic at a place she's never heard him mention. The man has too many secrets. She'll get him to tell all even if she has to drag herself away from her newborn babies and hop a plane to do it.
Witchcraft and interfering families are the least of this couple's problems when they meet in the Canary Islands. Are they destined to be together? Or will Rafe's secrets tear them apart?
