From the author of the magical Love Spell comes a lighthearted story of music, danger and romance!
When lonely Alex Spherris goes into town she's welcomed for the spinning melodies of her violin. The survivor of an accident that claimed her parents' lives, she's not used to admiration or friendship. The aunt who raised her left her in no doubt of her small value to the world. But on a stormy night like no other she finds herself in the possession of a bell, and try as she might she can't not ring it.
The mesmerizing tone fills her with awe but the fairy long trapped inside, beautiful, tempting and oh-so angry, fills her with a completely different wonder. Having known only loss, love isn't in her plans. But then neither is helping the sensuous Orielle complete a quest that will gain the fairy her freedom.
Take an improbable journey from reality into the world of Nightshade...

'I can't,' Alex said softly, lowering both her voice and her eyes. 'But you can...' Alex realized her hands were shaking. She hid them behind her back and leaned against the wall, staring up at the ceililng and away from Orielle. 'Really, I can't.' 'Tell me you do not want to, or that you will not let yourself...but don't tell me you CAN'T.' 'No...' Alex said. 'Honestly, I can't because...' she paused, daring to meet Orielle's eyes again. 'Because I don't know what I'd do if I ever..ever fell in love with you.' |
