Booklist Funny, sexy aspiring writer Milagro De Los Santos thinks she's finally found love and a home at the California ranch of fabulous Oswald Grant, MD, and his snobby relatives, who have a rare genetic disorder that some call vampirism. But Milagro is bewildered when she's excluded from a mysterious midnight ceremony whose participants include Oswald's hostile parents, a creepy family elder, and Milagro's ex-lover, decadent and powerful aristovamp Ian Ducharme.
When Milagro's life is threatened, she flees to the desert to hide and work on a screenplay. Instead of solitude, she encounters an egomaniacal actor, a partying socialite, a sly tabloid reporter, and a lavish spa full of dark secrets.
Now all she has to do is finish her screenplay, ambush a world domination movement, and overcome a terrible infection before she can make her way back to Casa Dracula.
