Ethan Carrick is the president -- of the world of vampires,
that is. So he's a vampire, of course. He's also a very
wealthy Las Vegas casino owner. And hot. Very hot.
Alexis Baldizzi is a prosecutor -- a tough, no-nonsense go-
getter. When she finds out Carrick has somehow talked her
sister, a sweet, naïve dentist, into ignoring her practice
and living at the casino, Alexis is determined to talk
sense into her sister and get her out of the too-hot casino
owner's clutches. But it's election year for Ethan Carrick
and he needs a first lady. If Alexis refuses to let her
sister get involved, maybe she'd like to take the position
herself? But he can't be serious, can he? Besides,
everybody knows vampires don't really exist.
HIGH STAKES was great! Funny and hot, yet with a
heartwarming sisterhood, it's the perfect book for a day at
the beach or an afternoon poolside. Alexis means serious
business and is ready for anything fate sends her way --
except Ethan. I enjoyed this latest offering from Ms.
McCarthy, as I knew I would. A great read.
He's a bloodsucking 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, womanizing vampire
feel something entirely new?
