The Defenders: Awakening (Volume 1)

Isabel, Matriarch of the Clan Montenegro-McCann, wants her missing daughter Raine to claim her Vampire heritage. Hharme, Isobel's finest Defender is dispatched to bring the girl, brought up as human, back to the clan. Cain, son of Adam and brother to Abel, has other plans for the girl: he wants Raine and her special powers for himself.

Despite Hharme’s belligerence toward his task and Raine, he rescues her from the clutches of Salvatore Demarco, Cain’s Chief Solin, bringing the Clans to the brink of paranormal war.

The mutual attraction and energy between Raine and Hharme is electric, undeniable and unstoppable - but can she make the decision to transition, to give up all that she has known? Is the promise of a lifetime of love enough?

Awakening is the first in The Defenders series by Cat Cervantes.
