Memory Lapse — Elaine Lowe

Anton has loved Cynthia for close to a hundred and thirty years. He's a made-vampire, a monster not good enough for her. He's flitted in and out of her very long life ever since he was created. Now, she helps keep Earth safe from the magic of multiple realities, and he's been a bounty hunter for years. Anton decides to win his lady, and brings her a present, a little green, furry creature he rescued from a marketplace in Mexico City. She lets him into her headquarters -- and the next thing either of them know, they wake up in bed together, bonded for life and covered in scratches and love bites. What happened? Reliving the memories and admitting to the love and passion they shared is a sweet victory at a time when the world may be falling down around them all.
