“I know it’s hard to believe, but Ethan is a vampire, and he needs our help.” Our help? The only thing Alexis was going to give him was a flying roundhouse kick into the crotch. Not only was he a rich casino owner, he got his jollies running some kind of goofy club/cult of creepy pale people who all had her little sister believing they were freaking vampires. Dead people. Undead. Double dead. Whatever you wanted to call it. They weren’t any of it. And what they wanted to do on their own loser time was their business, but since they had dragged Brittany into their weird hobbies, Alexis was not happy.
Fabulous irreverent vampire fun – Erin McCarthy puts a fresh spin of these blood suckers. He's a freak of nature. But, unlike other politicians, Ethan Carrick is actually a nice guy. Not to mention a very hot, wealthy, casino-owning vampire. It's an election year for vampires, which means he'll first have to escape his opponent's hit men. Then he'll have to find a suitable First Lady, preferably here in Vegas.
Brittany Baldizzi fits the bill. She's smart, pretty and sweeter than a glass of diabetic O-Negative. But her protective sister Alexis steps in with a message for Ethan: Bite me. It's then that he realizes it's the sexy, no-nonsense Alexis who raises his stake. And as much as she denies it, Alexis wouldn't mind a romp in the coffin with him. But can a mere mortal, even one who risks her life for him, make a centuries-old, womanising vampire feel something entirely new?
From Ethan:
“Look, we all have our hobbies. If you want to drink tomato juice and call it blood-” she gestured to his champagne glass- “and surround yourself with bad Elvira impersonators, that’s your business. But leave my sister out of it. She’s a sweet girl and she actually believes you’re the walking dead and wants to save your souls from hell.”
Save their souls from hell? Where had that come from? Astonished, and holding a glass of human blood in his hand, he looked over at Brittany, dug around in her head a little. She was easy to read, wide open to him most of the time if he wanted to go looking.
Alex is too cynical, wish Alex could be happy, know they can be helped, Ethan is sad and lonely…
Her thoughts rolled like a teleprompter and Ethan was appalled. She thought he was lonely? Here he’d been trying to woo Brittany slowly and surely and she felt sorry for him. That was a kick to the ego.
She managed to push the right button. His anger exploded, irrational and hot. “What would you say if I told you I really was a vampire… and that I fully intend to marry your sister?”
The words hung in the air for a sickening second, her gasp of outrage loud in the silence. He saw her movement, a slight shift, but even with his heightened senses he never guessed her intention until he felt the impact and the sharp pain jolt through his chest. Now that was a first. The crazy woman had actually hit him. |
