She meant to stake him. She didn't mean to fall for him.
Thelma Jenkins is good at keeping her life simple: steady job, quiet nights, and a book club that doubles as her social calendar. Everything changes the night she accidentally drives a wooden stake into the chest of a velvet-shirt-wearing stranger.
Turns out Fred isn't dead-well, not that kind of dead. He's a vampire. An awkward, old-fashioned, hopelessly endearing vampire who now insists Thelma help him blend in with modern humans... by pretending to be his girlfriend.
What follows is a whirlwind of:
Fake dating gone wrong (and hilariously right)
Meddling coworkers and suspicious friends
A jealous ex-vampire determined to ruin everything
A romance that's equal parts sharp, sweet, and laugh-out-loud funny
As Fred and Thelma stumble through candlelit dinners, midnight arguments, and more than one near-biting incident, she begins to wonder: maybe the only thing scarier than dating a vampire... is not dating one at all.
STAKED! is a witty paranormal romantic comedy perfect for anyone who likes their love stories with extra bite.
