She was invisible for fifty-four years.
Then she became impossible to ignore.
Rosa Torres has spent fifty-four years being overlooked.
Waiters forget her order. Her ex-husband left her for a twenty-nine-year-old. Even her own retirement feels like the world's polite way of showing her the door. On her birthday, dining alone at a table by the kitchen, Rosa is about as invisible as a person can get.
Then she throws her purse at a vampire.
What follows is the last thing she expected: a second life - literally. Newly turned and thoroughly irregular by ancient vampire standards, Rosa doesn't drink blood the right way, doesn't follow the rules, and has the deeply inconvenient habit of glowing when she gets angry. The vampire establishment wants her gone. A nine-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Spaniard with a desert castle thinks she's extraordinary.
Rosa's starting to think he might be right.
Funny, warm, and wildly romantic, Fangs After Fifty is a story about the power of refusing to disappear - and the beautiful chaos that happens when you finally, gloriously, stop trying to take up less space.
Some women don't come into their own until their fifties.
Some don't come into their own until they're immortal.
