Draped in a newly mortal form, Arleigh Donovan believes she possesses the ability to kill men with love – a throwback to roaming through centuries as a beautiful and powerful faery, the Leanan sidhe. When Ryder Kendall magically appears in a Caindale cottage on Trinity Island the enticing but lunatic stranger is the last thing Arleigh needs. Ryder offers a temptation almost impossible to resist, but succumbing to her desires might kill him.

When Ryder's pulled out of the modern world and dropped into 1639, he finds the woman of his dreams, but Arleigh might be a little crazy. Add into the mix an array of whimsical faeries, a charismatic and dangerous rival who happens to be immortal, kidnapped "nieces," and the everyday horrors of 1639, and Ryder's got more problems than he can handle. But his biggest problem is convincing the woman he loves she won't kill him with sex.
