Jerri did not come to the Caribbean looking for love, she was running away from an unbearable situation, but when Kerrel Waring--a member of a breed of people, strange people, with even stranger abilities--enters her life with warmth, tenderness, and a way about him that makes her feel special, the passion between them draws her to him against her will. But Kerrel has his own secrets. As he gets closer to Jerri he steals her heart and changes her in subtle ways, while keeping from her his true identity, and the fact that his people want to use her in a last-ditch desperate attempt to heal one of their own.
