Captive in a lair…and a fairy in the bed.

Xanthe Persimmon needs a man, but none of her lovers ever comes back for a return engagement. When Percy Brioche leaves her bed in silence, Xanthe forces him to tell her why. Chilled and disappointed, Xanthe goes to the cliffs and dares herself to walk along the rocky path at midsummer tide. She finds herself in the lair of a seaman—the least understood and the most feared of the fay. Sparks fly in the hot lair and Xanthe makes some exciting discoveries about herself and her desires. There’s just one problem. The seaman won’t let her leave. Hot sex aside, Xanthe knows fulfilment is an illusion if she has no choices.
