Proving a guy is a vampire for the glory it will bring seemed like a good idea.  At the time.  Until he needs Marissa Lakeland's help to fight the vampire who made him the way he is.  No problem. She's a witch.  Witches can handle it.  But vampires don't exist, and there's nothing in a witch's training that deals with a creature that doesn't exist.  So using her wits, she'll manage, right?  If the creature of the night doesn't get her first.  As a centuries-old vamp, Lynetta doesn't lose ever, and she doesn't intend to now.
