A fun-loving American gal, a brooding clan of ancient warriors, and a dangerous castle full of traps. What could possibly go wrong? From the moment that Edane mag Raith rescues Nellie from a pursuing Sluath, he is smitten. But while he's certain that she is the woman from his dreams, she doesn't seem so sure. Nellie Quinn doesn't mind spending time with the handsome highlander, but that goes for his entire clan. Shamelessly, she flirts with them all, even as she plots her escape. Her instincts say to run fast and far, and that's exactly what she intends to do. While the clan contends with her, and the Sluath hunt her, the mysterious occupant of the castle watches her. When he realizes her unique gift is a lethal threat, he decides to be lethal in return.
