Now, she presents the enthralling story of Rafael, a savage hunter from the darkest jungles, and the beautiful prey he would never let escape...</i> Rafael De La Cruz has spent centuries hunting vampires with his brothers, and with each passing year his capacity to feel emotions has grown weaker and weaker until finally there's barely even a memory left--until only sheer willpower keeps him from turning into the very abomination he hunts. But it'll take more than will to keep him away from the woman who is meant to be his and his alone... For five years, rancher Colby Jansen has been the sole protector of her younger half-siblings, and with fierce determination and work she has kept her family together and the ranch operational. Now, the De La Cruz brothers are threatening that stability. They claim that her siblings belong with their father's family, not with her. Colby vows to fight them--especially the cold and arrogant Rafael De La Cruz. But Rafael is after more than her family--he wants Colby and will not let anything stand between them. After ages of loneliness, the raw desire to possess her overwhelms his very soul, driving him to claim her as his lifemate... 2799714 book 2 2005 Dark Secret (Carpathians, #15) total:1145|5:518|4:316|3:240|2:50|1:21| 1145 4695 1613 33 4 3 false false Sat Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 18 11:11:43 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 24 06:52:16 -0800 2008
