Recently-divorced Texas rancher Clay McGrady is in Ireland on business. During a sight-seeing venture, he wanders into a quiet forest. Spellbound, he's reminded of the fairy tales of his childhood, and finds himself yearning for a woman who will love him tender and fulfill his fantasies. How could he know that Aine, Queen of the Faeries, has read his heart…. One of Aine's most powerful gifts is a talent for mind reading. When she hears Clay's plea, it's clear he's lonely and in serious need of gratification. On the night he returns home, she appears to him, and takes him to physical heights he's never been. When morning dawns, he's spent, heartbroken, and confused: Was the dark-eyed, tantalizing beauty a dream? Drawn to his prowess, Aine returns night after night to Clay's bed and, as the weeks pass, her keen insights warn her that he plans to escape. Sadly, there's but one way for her captive to regain his freedom…. While investigating Clay's mysterious death, handsome Detective Jake Rickard is also lured into Aine's trap. Will he become yet another victim of her overzealous lovemaking, or will Rickard's clever plot force Aine to return to The Otherworld, alone?
