Dear Reader,
Aeric O'Malley has been waiting centuries for Emmmaline Gallagher, the former fae assassin of the Summer Court, to walk into the trap he's set for her. She's responsible for the death of the only woman he ever loved and he's been dreaming about revenge.
Emmaline has no clue that the moment she steps past the boundaries of Piefferburg, the imprisonment area in the United States where the fae are kept, that she's immediately caught in an enchanted web that alerts Aeric to her presence. Practically before she makes it past the gates, Aeric swoops in, captures her, and she's plunged into the nightmare she's spent hundreds of years trying to avoid.
Despite the sins of her past, she's there to help the fae. Emmaline has discovered the location of an object that will help the fae gain their freedom from Piefferburg. The catch is that the object is in a locked box at the bottom of the ocean. The only man who can fashion a key to open that box is Aeric "the Blacksmith" O'Malley. Using her exceptional skill with glamour, she enters Piefferburg in a deep disguise never figuring Aeric will recognize her.
Aeric sees through all her subterfuge, yet something about Emmaline prevents him from taking his revenge and it's not her concocted tale about being there to "help the fae". She's not the heartless person he thought she'd be and even though she admits to killing the woman he loved all those years ago, Aeric senses something amiss with her story. Also, beyond all reason, he finds himself incredibly attracted to her.
While Emmaline is locked in Aeric's forge the clock is ticking and emotions are running high. Can she reach Aeric's angry heart before it's too late?
