Shep has secrets. For decades he's fought to keep them hidden from his teammates and his sister. If they knew the truth, knew what he had done, they'd treat him differently, and he can't handle that. He's already dealing with the fact that he's growing wings, wings he shouldn't have. Wings he doesn't want.
Izzy is working in a job that she hates. Then he bumps into her, knocking her off her feet in every way. The gorgeous stranger is a regular in the club. The man everyone wants, but she's the one who has caught his attention.
But the fantasy turns into a nightmare when she catches him feeding. He's a vampire, something from the legends and stories she's read all her life. As much as she should keep away, she's drawn to him, to his charm, to his hidden vulnerability.
Shep tries to distance himself from her. She deserves so much more than he can give her. But when his wings come out, she's the only one who can help. Can he put aside his reservations and allow Izzy into his life, allow her to be part of a dangerous world she barely understands, or will his past come back and claim him, taking him from her forever?
Defying Shep is the 3rd book in the Blackjack vampire romance series.
