My name is Rosetta Crowe, or, as I prefer to be called, Rosa. My life before now was full of twists and turns. I was given the choice to kill or be killed, and since I took the choice to be killed, but not by the hands of the vampire who gave me the choice, I ended up surviving out of fated luck. You see, I was kidn*pped, if you will, by a vampire called Lucian, and he gave me the choice to kill his brother Xander or die myself. I took a leap of faith the night I was supposed to have killed him, and I told Xander to kill me. Xander very nearly did if it hadn't been for my VBF, Dorian. Anyway, after a heart-to-heart, Xander and I sorted out our differences, if you will, and we found love. Or, as he said, I was his fated mate. I know a vampire and a human a bit screwed up, and yes, I agree, but here's the other screwed-up part of the story: Xander was to marry a vampire woman called Helena, but she was cheating on him with Lucian. The night I was to kill him was his wedding night to Helena; however, since he didn't die and they ran away together, no one has seen or heard from them. Or that was what I thought. I mean, after all, a happy ever after is for princesses and good guys, and I'm not one of them. I'm the villain in it all, as I am the assassin, and I am now Xander's mistress, only to become his wife if he were to ever turn me into his kind.
Set 6 months after the events of The vampire and the assassin, this is the second part of the story of Rosa's crazy life.
