Dark Melody by Christine Feehan

Dayan, the mesmerizing lead singer for the Dark Troubadours, is a Carpathian. Carpathians are vampire hunters with paranormal abilities who must find their lifemate or risk turning into vampires themselves. When playing a small club one night, Dayan senses that his lifemate is near. Her name is Corinne Wentworth, a widow whose husband was recently murdered. Now the same people who killed her husband are after her and her husband's sister, Lisa. Corinne is pregnant, and has a terminal heart condition which makes it unlikely that she can live through the stress of giving birth. To save her life, Dayan must turn her into a Carpathian. But the difficult transformation can only happen after she has given birth. The two fall in love, but it's a race against time to save Corinne's and the baby's life.

This is the twelfth book in Christine Feehan's popular Carpathian series. In Dark Melody, Ms. Feehan throws a twist at her dark, handsome hero -- the woman of his dreams is pregnant with another man's child. To his credit, after his initial shock wears off, Dayan steps up to the plate and deals with the situation admirably. This heartfelt and passionate story is sure to resonate with Ms. Feehan's many fans.
