Funny and saucy gardener and writer Milagro De Los Santos is finally in a serious relationship with a fabulous man, Oswald Grant, MD, and living at his lavish wine country ranch with his career-fixated relatives. It's true that Oswald accidentally infected Mil with the rare family condition that makes them crave blood cocktails, but what family doesn't have quirks? She thought they accepted her, so she's crushed when she's excluded from a midnight ceremony with special guests including a creepy family elder, Oswald's hostile parents, and Mil's ex-lover, decadent and powerful Ian Ducharme. When her 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. It's all lots of fun until the bwaa-ha-ha laughter and the knives come out. Now all Mil 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.
