The spell works, but instead of wanting to spend forever at her side, her boyfriend covets supernatural strength and speed--he also has a nasty mean streak. The boyfriend is now a vampire, a boyfiend, if you will. And the unethical mage is my heroine's only help and unlikely love interest as the story progresses.
(This is the first blurb I've written for this, so please feel free to ask questions if it makes no sense at all!)
I think it's a cool story, but then it's my Baaby.

I love urban fantasy - is the boyfriend an actual vampire, or just a wannabe? Just my own opinion, but as a longtime reader of fantasy, I'm so sick of vampires I could, well, do something rude. They've completely taken over, and it's become such a cliche.
Your story sounds interesting, but if it's got vampires, I'd give it a pass - but that's just me.
I wrote a short-short once about a tree nymph, so I'm very intrigued.
