An equally hunky--and equally dangerous--dark faerie soldier named Aodhan is also stalking Deirdre. Sworn enemies Luke and Aodhan each have a deadly assignment from the Faerie Queen.

Deirdre had been wishing her life weren't so dull but getting trapped in the middle of a centuries-old faerie war isn't exactly what she had in mind . . .
