Morgan Patterson came to Northern Ireland for her senior college year abroad to focus on her studies far away from family drama. But she's quickly distracted by a hunk of a police sergeant named Tiernan Doherty. Though he's old enough to be her da, as her new friends are quick to point out, she fancies him. And he certainly seems to be obsessed with her.
Eagerly going against all good advice, Morgan becomes more and more bound to Tiernan-by ties of lust and love and protection, and maybe even duty. But there is more to their attraction than Morgan can explain with her science textbooks, and more is going on in this sleepy village than she could ever have imagined.
She was once so sure that faerie stories were fiction. But there's no denying the strange visions and dreams she's been experiencing again since coming to this place. So many of the people she's met-both those looking out for her welfare and those seeking to destroy her-seem to feel she is a special one, with powers that are only now coming fully into her possession. Will she finally begin to understand that herself before it's too late?
