Stake Me Out to the Ball Game: Washington Vampires, #3.5

By Mindy Klasky

"A home run for paranormal chick-lit fans!" — Reader RM

 

Hell hath no fury like a vampire with a toothache!

 

Vampire Ava Buchanan has a pain in the fang, and the first available dentist appointment is forty-eight hours away. Desperate for distraction, she heads downtown for a baseball game.

 

At the stadium, she meets Dennis Maugham, a man who soon turns tooth-throb into heart-throb. Dennis is knowledgeable about baseball, he's emotionally available, and he seems like the perfect companion for an evening out—or maybe even more.

 

There's just one catch: Dennis is human. Can Ava gain her heart's desire while continuing to hide her supernatural existence?

STAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

Hell hath no fury like a vampire with a toothache.

Especially when said vampire had been on hold with Empire Dental for the past forty-five minutes, trying to schedule an emergency appointment. It had taken me fifteen minutes just to work my way through the idiotic phone tree, even after I listened carefully because my options had changed. I would have ground my teeth at the easy-listening rendition of Bat Out of Hell but the mere thought of putting pressure on my right fang sent arrows of pain into my temples.

I just refused to touch the benighted humans who thought food was cooked on those heated metal rollers behind the cash register. That was as good a character test as any.

In any case, I’d swung by my local convenience store to check out the, um, merchandise, and I’d been lured by the siren song of the Corn Nuts. Next thing you know, one slipped from between my molars, and I’d somehow splintered my right fang.

Now I was waiting through round eighty-seven of Meatloaf’s serenade, desperate to learn when a dentist could handle my case. The Eastern Empire was
