title: Married to a Vampire
author: Infante, Alexandria
description: When the Council sent Romana Escalara out on her first job, she was ecstatic. Finally, she would get to do what she’d spent the last 10years training for. She and Xander were linked as no other Council couple, and the fact that he was a Necromancer and she a witch, caused their bond to be even stronger. Yet, when they came up against three dark witches, and the Master Vampire showed up out of nowhere, not only did he set his sights on her, but killed Xander as well. For the next six years, Romie swore that she would kill any dark Council member she encountered on sight…whether good or bad; and for six years she did just that knowing that at some point she would find that vamp and for once and all put him down! Yet the night her parents were attacked by vampires, and that same Master vampire showed up; then commenced to slay them all, Romie knew something was amiss. For the next three years, he made it a point to torment her, making sure that his presence was known; even though she tried to kill him at each encounter. But what shocked Romie the most was when he professed his love for her and swore that he would do everything in his power to either woo her or turn her. Romana knew, that if it was with her last breath…she would kill him for what he’d done to Xander… For 1500 years, Maphis figured love…and all its trappings were for humans. That is until he saw her. He knew his one and only job after that was to make sure she lived, if for no other reason, then to prove to her who her Necromancing boyfriend truly was.
