"Gareth cupped the nape of her neck with his free hand, the other one still holding fast to hers as he deepened the kiss. She felt swift need rise up within her. She strained against him, craving more of his taste as everything and everyone around her faded into the background. She could feel the heat of desire pooling in her belly for this man. She'd never been so instantly attracted to anyone before. She knew he wasn't Fae, she'd realized he was mortal as soon as she'd touched him. If he had been Fae she'd have suspected he'd enspelled her with a passion spell."

Eira Lloyd is half fairy, half human. She is bookish and very logical and doesn't believe in wild passion until she meets Gareth.

Gareth Gray is all human and owns a construction firm. He recently moved to the area of Wales where Eira lives to build a shopping center. He is British and having a hard time fitting in as he gets a lot of hostility from the locals.

Eira and Gareth meet at a wedding. Eira is so freaked out by the intensity of their attraction that she puts a spell on him so he can't see her but with the help of a strange man Gareth is able to seek her out.

They work together to overcome the local resistance that Gareth is experiencing and along the way fall in love.
