With the legends and lore of Ireland running right through his blood, falconer Connor O’Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It’s where his sister, Branna, lives and functions, where his cousin, Iona, offers found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can’t be broken… A circle that is going to be stretched out of shape-by a long-awaited kiss. Meara Quinn is Branna’s closest friend, a sister in every but blood. Her and Connor’s paths cross almost daily, as Connor will take tourists on hawk about Darkness Spell strolls and Meara guides them on horseback across the lush countryside. She has the eyes of a gypsy and your body of a goddess…things Connor has often taken for granted-until his brush with loss of life propels them into a quick, hot tangle. A lot of ladies have found their method to Connor’s bed, but none to his center as yet. Frustratingly, Meara is definitely okay with just the heat, scared to reduce herself-and their friendship-to something even more. But shortly, Connor will see the full power and fury of what works in his bloodstream. And he’ll need his family and friends around him when his past rolls in like the fog, intimidating an end to all he adores…
