Description
"You really can't write a California Gothic. It would become some inane comedy with movie stars and margaritas and alien abductions." --Milagro de Los SantosQuirky, flirty aspiring writer Milagro de Los Santos thinks she's finally found love and a home at the wine country ranch of fabulous Oswald Grant, MD, and his elegant relatives, who have a rare genetic disorder that some call vampirism. The Grants no longer treat her like a trashy gold-digger and she hardly ever accuses them of being total snobs. So Mil is bewildered when they exclude her from a mysterious midnight ceremony whose participants include Oswald's hostile parents, a creepy family elder, and Mil's ex-lover, decadent and powerful Ian Ducharme.When Mil's life is threatened, she flees to the desert to hide and work on a political horror screenplay. Instead of solitude, she encounters an egomaniacal actor, a partying socialite, a sly tabloid reporter, and a lavish spa full of dark secrets.Will she be able to finish writing a screenplay, ambush a world domination movement, and overcome a terrible infection so she can return to Casa Dracula in time for happy hour?
