Sean Capelle: 3 books

Vampires make the best loan sharks. They have access to money, a long life to manage it, and sharp teeth to punish deadbeat borrowers. The only trouble? They can't visit their clients during normal business hours. Rennstadt belongs to a secret society that aides the vampires. But his loyalty comes in to question when one of the deadbeats offers him a chance to escape.
