Where are you from?
Unakite City. Originally Las Vegas.
What is your main purpose in life?
To protect my people, and ensure the survival of our species. I am also the Sovereign of all supernaturals.
Who is your greatest enemy and why?
Gre’gori Shomondeley, Imperator of the Vampires. The vampires want us—all supernaturals—to come from behind the curtain and make ourselves known to humans. Ridiculous. This would result in conflict on the order of genocide. Damn vampires are my biggest pains in the ass.
Do you think you can ever reconcile with this enemy?
There is no reconciliation, only capitulation.
Do you have a love interest?
My deceased wife Marta. And my current wife Vivian.
What is your weapon of choice?
I am the only weapon I need.
What makes you happy?
My grandchildren. They are the future of the incubi.
Do you have a code of honor?
Yes: Protect my people by any means.
What makes you angry?
Disobedience.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I’d know how to have a better relationship with my youngest son, Cheyenne.
What do you think is your greatest strength?
I’m willing to do what’s necessary.
What do you think is your greatest weakness?
Sadly, my sons. Neither is the leader I’d like them to be.
What do you think is your enemy’s greatest strength?
The vampires control the entertainment industry.
What do you think is your enemy’s greatest weakness?
In their stupidity, the popularity they encouraged has made them part of human popular culture. This makes them—and all of us—vulnerable to exposure.
Name one person you admire.
I admire my son Cheyenne’s strength of will, and his refusal to compromise on what is important to him. But I can never tell him. We’re much alike, he and I.
Name one person you trust.
I trust Khalid, the head of my personal guard.
House of the Rising Son, Living After Midnight, Book 1
Sex. Rebellion. Rock and Roll.
Cheyenne is a half-human incubus whose star is on the rise in the Unakite City rock scene. His father, the leader of the supernatural races, would prefer he keep a “low profile”, but screw that. Cheyenne has as much music in his veins as royal incubi blood.
Alexander’s future is all set—finish law school, join the family firm, and marry someone who’d be good for business. Not that he has a say in any of it. He’s barely met the woman his father expects him to marry.
As Cheyenne’s musical career takes off, his carefully constructed life begins to unravel, exacerbated by an ex-lover who can’t let go, a crotchety barkeeper with a dirty mind and a pure heart, a drag queen who moonlights as a nanny, and Alexander—who’s not sure if he’s falling for the incubus or the rocker.
Cheyenne denies who he is, while Alexander hides what he wants. Together, they learn that getting what they truly want means being who they truly are.
Warning: Contains hot were-tiger sex, a Thanksgiving celebration that makes the Inquisition look like a tea party, and an incubus who’ll rock your world.
