Tall, Dark and Deadly
by Margaret L. Carter

When horror actor Claude Darvell agrees to produce and star in novelist Eloise Kern's vampire movie script, they feel a powerful attraction upon their first meeting. Eloise doesn't suspect that Claude is a real vampire, using his film roles as "hide in plain sight" camouflage...until the ecstatic "dreams" she enjoys under his roof become too vivid to ignore. To complicate their relationship, an old rival of Claude's appears, seeking revenge for the death of his beloved in the great San Francisco earthquake.
