Swann Santiago, assistant to Xxieda Rolla, sister to Ravens and newly minted witch can't understand why a man as sexy as Lance Whitehall wants to help her get her powers in check, let alone hangout with her on a regular basis. A professional at keeping walls up around herself, she knows the short end of the stick when it comes to having a normal life. Born with a lack of pigment, she is the negative of her twin, a fact that has caused her much distress, and kept the opposite sex at bay. Afraid of being a 'kink' or the losing end of a bet she's kept everyone at arm's length. At least until Lance. The vampire not only saved her life, but wants to be around her constantly. And now he wants a relationship. The past year and a half he's spent helping her get her magic under control, burning off the excess, a chore both enjoy more than not, and she made it a point to keep their clandestine liaisons a secret from everyone they knew and loved. Tired of being her dirty little secret, Lance decides that her hang-ups and self imposed emotional sabotage needs to stop. Swann doesn't see how anyone could care for her the way he says he does. Now, he's on a mission to show her this could be love if she only let it.
