Shape-shifter Rafael Valdez has spent too many years as a bodyguard to vampires. Now he's ready to build his own life.
There's nothing more likely to make a man step up than a pregnant girlfriend. His lady, were-cat Lacy, is pregnant and he wants to be there for her before the babies, triplets, are born. Lacy figures he's only willing to give her a ring because his true love, the vampire he'd guarded for so long, is no longer available. She won't be his sloppy seconds.
Rafe is determined to woo and win this woman. But before that can happen, he's taken away at gunpoint to his dying grandfather's bedside. He'd left his shape-shifter clan centuries ago and never wanted to return, but Grandfather needs him now. Can Rafe help save the old man and the clan? Will a woman with an agenda come between Lacy and Rafe? And how can a were-cat and a shape-shifter find their own happily ever after when the families from both sides are dead set against their union?
