Jenny Clover comes from a very long line of magical folk who emigrated to America during the Irish famine years. Eventually, her ancestors settled in a rural Texas community where they live today. It has always been easy hiding her and her family's mystic powers since using them would cause attention they don't need. Especially when their biggest problem is watering livestock and no amount of magic Jenny and her aunts and uncles possess can undo a drought. When she mysteriously wins a contest for a soap company in Fermanagh County, Ireland, and the money that comes with it saves the family farm, Jenny is understandably overjoyed. She also wins an all-expense trip to Ireland and she can't wait to get to the homeland of her forebears. Where one problem ended, however, an even bigger one presents itself in the form of The Honorable Declan Tyrnan Shea, lately bestowed with his father's title as The Baron of Clanshea. Where Jenny and Declan are concerned, mysterious and amazing magical forces are about to upend their lives. Neither of their families will ever be the same when the real adventure begins.

"To you, I'm but a dream in the night. To those who do wrong by my people, and harm others through deceit, I'm a nightmare!" Gryphon O'Conner wondered why the sorceress's latest summons contained the unusual words, 'Come without delay...no time for explanation'. Her instructions usually included dates, times, and places for his next assignment, but she never used language indicating such urgency. Every instinct told him he should have left already, but the sorceress could damned well wait. Any mission she had in mind required preparing his body and spirit. That preparation could only be accomplished by cleansing at leisure, in an enchanted pool. Besides, what was she going to do if he didn't jump at her command as he'd always done? Would she turn him into a creature everyone in the Order feared? Well, it was too bloody late for that!
