Cimarron Secrets (Cimarron Series)

By Lori Herter

Vampire Rafael de la Vega loves a mortal, but will his love destroy her? The sequel novella to "Cimarron Spirit" by Lori Herter in EDGE OF DARKNESS, the vampire anthology published by Berkley. Archaeology professor Annie Carmichael encountered Rafael while excavating an Anasazi ruin in Arizona. A Spanish conquistador in 1540, Rafael died and rose as a vampire due to a gypsy curse. Annie promised to marry rancher Brent Logan, but turned runaway bride when she ran off with charismatic Rafael, who loves her as no ordinary man could. Though enthralled with Rafael, she finds living with a shapeshifting vampire who thrives on blood is a huge adjustment. When a competitive professor, Frank Florescu, discovers that her handsome and mysterious lover is one of the undead, he threatens to expose Annie and ruin her career. Knowing he's damaged the lives of women in his past, Rafael fears that Annie would be better off without him. For Annie's sake, should Rafael undergo a secret arcane ritual to regain his mortality and risk departing his very existence--vampire or human?
