Convinced he brings destruction wherever he goes, enigmatic Aidan Dougal is alienated from a family he can never call his own. For such a man, affection is impossible and marriage out of the question. Even asking for help is beyond him... until a callous enemy forces him to accept assistance from a young woman whose beauty and strange enchantments turn his cool composure into red-hot passion.
Left homeless by the death of her adopted parents, Mora Abbott is not the meek vicar's daughter she appears to be. Inside, she seethes with a desire to live life fully and embrace the magical talents she's only beginning to discover. Aidan stirs more than her soul, but he presents a formidable challenge... and unless he is willing to open his heart and explore the potential of their combined powers, their attraction can never blossom into the full flower of love.
