What happens when the Devil demands his due?

Shapeshifter Rafael Valdez has always protected others, including his vampire friends during the day. Now he owns a successful nightclub, is married to werecat Lacy and has triplets. He''s spent years trying to deny his demon side, but it''s impossible once his daughter is born. She has inherited the dark powers he hoped never to use or pass on to his children.

When demons start converging on Austin, Rafe knows something big is going down. Then he finds out the Devil has offered a huge reward to anyone who can capture and bring Rafe''s little girl to Hell. No, he won''t stand for it. Lilith, Rafe''s mother and the most powerful demon there is, shows up offering to protect the child. Is she just another scheming demon or the loving grandmother she''s pretending to be? Rafe has trouble believing her since she''s ignored him most of his long life but he has no choice.

Desperate, Rafe descends into Hell, determined to bargain with the Devil. What must he do to save his child? The Real Vampire gang offers to help him in what becomes a battle of good versus evil. But will right be enough to overcome might? Rafe can only hope so as he uses all his demon powers in the fight to save his family. 

Gambling on her future in Las Vegas

You''d think four-hundred-year-old vampire Glory St. Clair would have her act together by now. She loves her too handsome and always arrogant sire, Jeremiah Campbell. Now she wants to take charge of her own life and not just be known as Jeremiah''s "woman".

She''s been drifting along all these years and what better place for a vampire than a city known for its night life? Las Vegas is teeming with vampires, shape-shifters and even demons. Some are willing to help her, but others? Starting over is hard, especially when you''re afraid of some of your powers and discovering new ones.

As she gains strength, Glory wonders if this fight is worth it. She might become her own woman, but will she end up pushing away the only man she''s ever loved? This gamble for her freedom may just be a risk she''s not willing to take.

This book is 396 pages long, set in Las Vegas in 2005 as a prequel to Real Vampires Have Curves, the first book in the bestselling Real Vampires series that started in 2007 from Berkley Publishing.

When a pregnant demon shows up on her doorstep, Glory knows that everything is about to go to hell. Alesa is claiming that the baby she''s carrying is Rafe''s, conceived while she was inhabiting Glory''s body. A clever trap? Or could it be true?

Booties and bibs are the last thing on Glory''s mind when she discovers dark secrets from her own forgotten past. Who is she? What is she? And how will the men in her life deal with the fact that she may be more powerful than she knew? One thing is certain. Glory has way more to worry about than fitting into her favorite pair of jeans...
