A Witch and Her Vampire by Emberly Wyndham
He’s sworn to uphold the academy’s rules. She’s determined to get him to break every one of them.
Maeve Vandermere has spent years honing her magic. As a fourth-year storm witch at Coven Crest Academy, she’s built her reputation on magical control, academic excellence, and a life free of unnecessary attachments. With a prestigious fellowship on the line, she refuses to let anything jeopardize the future she’s worked so hard to earn—until Professor Severin D’Arques enters her orbit. Ancient, composed, and dangerously magnetic, the vampire professor begins to unravel her one thread at a time.
Severin D’Arques has survived centuries by choosing discipline over instinct. Hunger, desire, passion—he has learned to deny them all. But Maeve’s storm-charged magic awakens within him something ungovernable, a pull that defies reason and challenges the restraint he’s spent decades cultivating. Every moment near her becomes a decision: to follow the rules that have kept him in control or to give in to a want he knows he should resist.
As their forbidden bond deepens, Maeve and Severin discover their connection carries consequences neither of them fully understands. The closer they become, the more impossible it is to determine where her magic ends and he begins. And when Maeve is forced to decide whether loving Severin is worth the risk of permanently altering the course of her life, she must choose between the future she once planned and the man who may be worth changing it for.
