Seamus is the campaign manager for the vampire president who's up for reelection, so he needs to keep to the straight and narrow. But when he's at a strip club and watches Cara do her act behind a translucent screen, he falls in lust. Later, outside, they run into his enemies and Cara is struck by a car.

To keep her from dying, Seamus turns her into a vampire and takes her to his apartment at his boss' casino to ease her into the vampire world. Cara doesn't know he's breaking all the rules to keep her with him, but she knows she's falling in love with him. Seamus doesn't realize he's come to love Cara until she's in mortal danger from his political enemies and he sees how close he is to losing her -- for good.

BIT THE JACKPOT is the second book by Ms. McCarthy about the vampire world -- Las Vegas style. It picks right up where HIGH STAKES, the first book, left off and has as much humor and heat as the first one. Seamus is a hottie and Cara is the proverbial virgin stripper. I'm already looking forward to the next one. A good read.
